“…One of the main points revealed by related academic research is that there is now widespread concern about the issues of sustainability across different segments of demand [22,23]. That is the reason why Juvan and Dolnicar [24] contend that tourists may represent the most promising target when attempting to increase the environmental sustainability of tourism. Tourists can help to reduce tourism's negative impact by making environmentally friendly tourism decisions and behaving in an environmentally sustainable manner while at the destination.…”

A key strategic aim of tourism destinations within the smart tourism paradigm is to achieve efficient, responsible and sustainable use of tourism resources. This aim can be achieved by promoting the appropriate practices and making tourists co-managers, co-designers and co-creators of tourism experiences. This paper argues that smart tourism destinations should manage their resources in a sustainable way and that smart technologies can make their contribution. Could a smart technology such as social media/social networking sites make a contribution to sustainable tourism within the smart tourism paradigm? To address this research question, a project was carried out to explore the perceptions and attitudes of Chinese tourist consumers about the contribution of social networking sites to adopting a sustainable and responsible behavior within the context of a smart tourism framework. First a research framework encompassing three hypotheses related to the influence of social networking sites at the three main stages of the travel cycle/tourist journey was designed. An exploratory quantitative research was then carried out using the online survey technique. The study's findings indicate that the use of social networking sites influences the smart tourists at all three stages on adoption of sustainable and responsible behavior, the most significant influence is at the first two stages. The article is completed by discussing the related conclusions and management implications in the smart tourism management framework. Author Contributions: The authors' contributions were as follows. Conceptualization: S.S. and M.S.; Methodology: M.S. and Q.Z.; Software, Q.Z.; Validation, S.S. and M.S.; Formal analysis, S.S., M.S. and Q.Z.; Investigation: S.S. and Q.Z.; Resources: S.S.; Data curation: Q.Z.; Writing-original draft preparation: M.S.; Writing-review and editing: S.S. and M.S.; Project administration and supervision: S.S.

“…Irrespective of tourists´ intentions to protect the environment [4], sustainability of innercity tourism is enhanced if tourists prefer to walk rather than using transport services (causing environmental costs, e.g., emissions to the air [5]). Landon et al [6, p. 2] suggest that "tourists have the ability to act as force for good based on how they spend their money and the specific behaviors they adopt to minimize the harm that they impose on other people and the environment" [5]- [6].…”

The main purpose of this paper is to monetarily assess the effect of cultural and natural goods and services on tourism in Vienna, Austria. By means of hedonic modelling, we investigate how the value of tourist places, cultural and natural monuments is capitalized in commercial housing prices. First, in the context of variable selection, main tourist attractions are identified. In the second section, by controlling for accessibility effects of transportation, the investigation area is defined. Using hedonic regression analyses, the tourists' willingness to pay for the adjacency to monuments is quantified. Finally, results obtained are used to illustrate the influence of sustainable city tourism on the preservation of cultural and natural monuments. There are particular important trade-offs between preservation and new construction. Keywords: hedonic model, nonmarket valuation of cultural goods and services, accessibility to monuments in sustainable tourism.

Application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to Solve Environmental Sustainability Problems: A Comprehensive Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2017

Most methodological areas assume common serious reflections to certify difficult study and publication practices, and, therefore, approval in their area. Interestingly, relatively little attention has been paid to reviewing the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in environmental sustainability problems despite the growing number of publications in the past two decades. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to fill this gap by conducting a wide search in two main databases including Web of Science and Scopus to identify the studies which used SEM techniques in the period from 2005 to 2016. A critical analysis of these articles addresses some important key issues. On the basis of our results, we present comprehensive guidelines to help researchers avoid general pitfalls in using SEM. The results of this review are important and will help researchers to better develop research models based on SEM in the area of environmental sustainability.
