Thus, environment needs to be conserved and be further improved in order to provide sufficient resources to fulfill the local community's needs.…”

This study aimed to analyse the perception of operators on the impact they experienced as a result of their involvement (0.29, t = 2.78, p < 0.00) dan (0.86, t = 6.34, p < 0.00). Secara keseluruhan menunjukkan bahawa impak keseluruhan mempunyai hubungan positif dan mempengaruhi pembangunan pelancongan inapdesa (0.30, t = 4.45 p < 0.00). Bagi tujuan untuk meningkatkan lagi permintaan pelancongan inapdesa, perlu adanya jalinan kerjasama yang kukuh antara pengusaha, kerajaan dan agensi pemasar untuk melestarikan pembangunan inapdesa di Malaysia.

“…Through a series of studies, scholars have come to a general consensus that it is crucial to consider environmental attitude or environmental concern when examining tourists' participation in activities that have a significant impact on the environment, such as nature-based tourism, outdoor recreational activities, and adventure tourism (e.g., Luo and Deng 2008;Luzar et al 1995;Nisbet et al 2009;Zhong et al 2011). …”

Finding the balance between economic development and preservation of the natural environment is a challenging yet important task. This is a particularly pressing issue in the case of China, as it is the largest and fastest-growing market for tourism. The purpose of this research is to examine Chinese tourists' participation in nature-based, tourism activities by incorporating tourists' environmental concern, measured by a

“…The development of tourism is highly dependent on the natural environment and its resources [1,31,32]. Spanning the 3.6 million hectares of land in Taiwan, 59% is allotted to development-restricted mountainous forest lands, 28% to agriculture lands, and only 13% of the lands constitute urban and rural residential areas, which are occupied by approximately 23 million people.…”

This research is the first attempt of a carbon emission investigation of tourism-based farms. A total of 36 cases were investigated. The result reveals that each tourist returns an average revenue of 28.6 USD and generates an average 10.9 kg-CO2eq per visit of carbon emissions. The average carbon emission density for each land area is 8.2 t/ha·year and is 245 kg/m²·year for each floor area. It is estimated that the overall carbon emissions reach 321,751 tons annually. The tourism-based farms were clustered into five categories, based on their business characteristics. It was found that high-end vacation leisure farms produce 2.46 times the carbon emissions than natural eco-conservation farms. Carbon emissions were 42% higher than the annual average in July and August. A secondary high season is in February, but it is merely higher than the annual average by 8% because of the mild climate. Two significant models for predicting carbon emissions were constructed by stepwise regression. As agriculture administrative authorities in Taiwan gradually have begun admitting the cultivated lands for multi-purpose usage, tourism-based farms have been increasing drastically. This study provides references for both public authorities and farm managers in exploring the issues with regard to carbon emissions and farm sustainability.
