“…The R 2 values were 0.237 (DPEB), 0.362 (TPEB), 0.195 (ID), 0.192 (ML). The assessment of the value of the R 2 is highly dependent upon the research area and Hair et al (2014) recommend that a value of 0.2 is suitable in behavior studies, so these results indicate that DPEB and TPB are appropriately explained, however, ID and ML were just at the edge but still acceptable, as indicated by others (Esfandiari et al, 2019). When EA was tested as a moderator, the R 2 of the model was improved (0.491 (TPEB), 0.244 (ID), 0.244 (ML) (see Figure 1), suggesting a better explanatory power of this model.…”

Domestic and tourism pro-environment behaviors (PEBs) are often found to be related. While pro-environmental behavior in the domestic context is well-studied, virtually no research has examined consistency in PEBs across domestic and tourism contexts. Here, we examined potential consistency and spillover effects between PEBs in domestic and tourism contexts using at 717-participant questionnaire study dataset, analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation modeling (PLS-SEM). We also considered potential mediators and moderators of these relationships. The results show significant positive relationships between domestic PEBs and tourism PEBs, with environmental attachment and pro-environmental identity positively related, and moral licensing beliefs negatively related, to consistency between PEBs in both contexts. Pro-environmental identity and moral licensing beliefs were found to partly mediate the association between PEBs in both contexts, whereas environmental attachment had a positive moderating effect. We discuss the implications of these results for strengthening positive relationships between domestic and tourism PEBs, and thus fostering cross-contextual spillover.

“…This key finding contributed to the knowledge literature gap on behavioral beliefs, attitudes, and NEP values, where past studies have debated about the actual predictive power of NEP values in behavioral research. Even though scholars have experimented with pro-environmental values in exploring various ecological customer groups (Kiatkawsin and Han (2017), environmental reasons for traveling (Imran et al, 2014), binning behavior (Esfandiar et al, 2020) and perceptions of environmental resources (Ramkissoon et al, 2013), no study tested the predictive power of NEP toward off-trail behavior.…”

“…Prevailing circumstances, hazard consciousness, relaxed nature of leisure, and the presence of authority administration can have an impact on how visitors interpret the noncompliant situation. For instance, a higher tendency to litter in places already littered (Esfandiar, Dowling, Pearce & Goh, 2020) or participate in unauthorized swimming when other visitors are seen in restricted pool areas (Girasek, Marschall & Pope, 2016).…”

This study extended the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to embrace the pro-environmental construct in predicting visitor off-trail behavioral intentions at national parks. Quantitative questionnaire items were developed through an elicitation study and empirically tested among 325 respondents. Empirical results revealed overall predictive variance of 21.7 percent (R 2) in predicting visitor off-trail intentions. Behavioral beliefs predicted most of behavioral intentions followed by normative beliefs. The contribution of control beliefs and proenvironmental values had the weakest predictive power. Among the behavioral beliefs, visitors had the strongest belief that walking off the trails would lead to a shorter route. Friends as a reference group were the strongest normative belief that influenced off-trail intentions. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

“…Not surprisingly, the VBN model has been employed predominantly within research focusing on pro-environmental behaviors, especially concerning research on climate change (Nilsson, von Borgstede, & Biel, 2004;Sanderson & Curtis, 2016), consumers' decision making in selecting products or services (Jansson, Marell, & Nordlund, 2011;Stern, 1999), and visitors to protected areas (Esfandiar, Dowling, Pearce, & Goh, 2019;van Riper & Kyle, 2014). As of late, the VBN model has been utilized within sustainable tourism research primarily focusing on pro-sustainable tourism behaviors (Han, Hwang, & Lee, 2017;Han, Olya, Cho, & Kim, 2018;Kiatkawsin & Han, 2017;Landon, et al, 2018) and the selection of green lodging options (Choi, Jang, & Kandampully, 2015;Han, 2015;Rahman & Reynolds, 2016).…”

In light of the recent conflicts in Carthage over land use, cultural heritage preservation, and sustainable tourism, this works utilized a value-belief-norm (VBN) theoretical framework to consider psychological antecedents of residents' behavioral intentions to support cultural heritage tourism. As such, personal values, cultural worldview, awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility, and subjective norms were considered antecedents of intentions to support cultural heritage tourism. Data were collected from 475 Carthage residents in nine neighborhoods adjacent to UNESCO World Heritage Sites using an on-site self-administered questionnaire. The proposed model was assessed through confirmatory factor analysis (to demonstrate sound psychometric properties across all 11 factors within the model), followed by structural equation modelling. Overall, 15 of the 19 proposed hypotheses were supported, ultimately contributing to 28% of the variance explained in residents' behavioral intentions to support cultural heritage tourism. Implications for theory and practice along with limitations and future research opportunities are discussed at the close of the paper.
