“…Further research is needed to identify what it is about the culture of a collectivistic country like Bangladesh that makes tapping on one's values less persuasive, although this may be that such values are already deeply engrained in the culture (Hofstede Insights, 2017). Clearly, further research is needed to understand how individualistic messages may be received in a collectivistic culture, just as there have been studies on how altruistic messages are received in Western cultures (Brown et al, 2010;Sgalitzer et al, 2016;Vujko & Gaji, 2014;Warren et al, 2017). Further cross-cultural research is also needed to understand the relative importance of cultural dimensions on motivations for prosustainability behaviour, the role of altruism compared to reciprocity motivations in collectivistic cultures, and the role of agency in collectivistic behaviour (see Cho, Thyroff, Rapert, Park, & Lee, 2013;Font, Garay, & Jones, 2016;Gelfand et al, 2004;Vaidyanathan, Aggarwal, & Kozłowski, 2013;Vitell et al, 1993).…”

“…The context of this study differs considerably from the individualistic Western societies where much sustainability behavioural research is conducted, both studies showing the potential of altruistic messages (e.g., Brown et al, 2010;Sgalitzer et al, 2016;Vujko & Gaji, 2014;Warren et al, 2017) and the comparative advantage of messages emphasizing the benefits to the self (e.g., Hardeman et al, 2017;Wehrli et al, 2017). This is a mixed methods study with an exploratory qualitative step (focus group) followed by a dominant quantitative step (survey; see Molina-Azorín & Font, 2016, for an outline of the use of mixed methods in sustainable tourism publications).…”

“…Someone who is altruistic “does something for the other and for the other's sake, rather than for self‐promotion or internal well‐being” (Post, , p. 53). Altruism is a complex prosocial behaviour (West et al, ) that does not “occur in the absence of sufficient motive, means and opportunity” (Farsides, , p. 475), because in most cases, the drivers of altruism are latent, but external influences awake and raise them (Sgalitzer et al, ). Altruism can be driven by a conscious and unconscious expectation of tangible or intangible external or internal rewards (i.e.,self‐satisfaction or esteem; Batson, ).…”

This article studies the determinants of altruistic behaviour in a collectivistic country. A focus group discussion identified the determinants and their causal relationships. Partial least square and covariance‐based structural equation modelling provide similar results in 605 questionnaires, which support the model's fit. The tourists are likely to perform more altruistic behaviours if they are exposed to persuasive communication that enhances self‐efficacy beliefs, more than communication tapping into one's sustainability attitudes. The study shows the potential of focusing on altruistic messages in a collectivistic country (Bangladesh) in comparison to the individualistic messages typically shown to be more persuasive in Western countries.

“…This study finding corroborates with Sgalitzer, Brownlee, Zajchowski et al (2016) study that found that only 8.8% of tourists made on-site donations. They attributed this gap between intentions and donation behaviour to the tourist constraints.…”

This thesis would not have been possible without the guidance and support from my supervisory committee, Dr. Karen Hughes and Professor Roy Ballantyne. To my main supervisor, Karen, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for her time, advice, guidance and encouragement all the way through.-Power ON‖ and-Keep Going!‖ were your mantra that got me to the finish line. To Roy, thank you for your guidance and for always reminding that research is about making a real difference. Thank you for your famous-so what‖ question that inspired many of your students, including me. I am grateful for the opportunity to embark on this PhD journey. It would not be possible without the funding provided by University Putra Malaysia and the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia. I thank you also to the UQ Business School and the Graduate School for their support during my final year. Thank you to Tourism Cluster academics who have provided valuable feedbacks for my thesis. Assoc. Prof Dr. Jan Packer provided detailed feedbacks for my final thesis review document. Dr Gabby Walters and Dr Lisa Ruhanen reviewed and gave feedbacks for my confirmation document. I also thank EPU and Sabah Wildlife Department for approval to conduct my study, as well as to the Sepilok staff for sharing their experiences with the orangutans. Big thanks to the academics and individuals who responded to my emails, giving me valuable advice and materials for reference, and sharing images for me to use in my study. This PhD would not be completed without the enduring love and support of my family and friends. To my number one cheerleader, my mother, Glynis, who have stuck with me for 3 ½ years in Brisbane, you have willingly cared for your grandchildren with so much love while I was busy completing my studies. Thank you for instilling that strong will inside of me and for always believing in me. To my wonderful husband, Alsraf, who have made huge sacrifices for my PhD, I thank you for your patience and endless love. To my sisters, Farah and Effy, Thank you for always listening to my rants and my-out-of-the-blue‖ outbursts. To my dad and my in-laws, I thank you for your endless prayers from far. To my PhD colleagues and friends near and far, thank you for being good friends who is always ready to lend a hand and an ear. It is always nice to know that I am surrounded by wonderful and kind-hearted friends. Last but not least, to my children, Akeef and Hanna, Thank you for teaching me excellent time-management skills, multitasking skills, and to have faith and patience when everything seems to fall apart. Most of all, thank you for all the warm hugs and kisses that made all the sacrifices worthwhile. It's a wonder how little children can give so much joy and happiness. This has been a wonderful experience. I am one happy PhD hustle mama!
