“…Additionally, travellers seeking luxury hotels and experiences will perceive trade‐offs between sustainability and luxury. However, Line and Hanks () note that this is more the case for urban hotels than for nature‐based locations – essentially, consumers perceive a lower level of luxury in green urban hotels. People may see a closer fit between luxury and sustainability in cosmetics, but the term ‘eco‐fashion’ conjures up the hippie movement, where fashion often meant shapeless recycled clothing (Henninger et al .…”

Sustainability has become a pervasive issue for the luxury sector, gaining traction with brand managers, scholars, policy‐makers, the media, and academia. The purpose of this paper is to examine the state of sustainable luxury research in marketing and consumer behaviour by critically reviewing and synthesizing the growing but fragmented body of scholarly work on sustainable‐luxury marketing. The paper critically assesses where, how and by whom research on sustainable luxury is being conducted, and it identifies gaps for future investigation. The paper reviews research published between 2007 and 2018 within major peer‐reviewed English‐language scholarly publications in business, marketing, ethics, fashion, food and tourism journals. The research is identified using the keywords sustainable luxury, green luxury, eco‐luxury and organic luxury. Three core themes emerge from this review: (1) consumer concerns and practices; (2) organizational concerns and practices; and (3) international and cross‐cultural issues. The review confirms that research on sustainable luxury is significantly underdeveloped. This paper provides the first critical and comprehensive assessment and categorization of the emergent literature streams on sustainable luxury. The authors argue for a broader, deeper and more critical research agenda on the relationship between sustainability and luxury. Potential avenues for future research on sustainable luxury are proposed, with calls for theoretical and cross‐cultural reflections that tackle broader systemic and institutional issues within the field.

“…Studies indicate that environmental beliefs have had a significant impact on consumer behaviour (D'Souza, Taghian, & Khosla, ; Line & Hanks, ; Pereira Heath & Chatzidakis, ; Vitell & Muncy, ). A report shows that ethical spending continues to grow, despite difficult market conditions, with combined ethical money and ethical spending totals rising to US$111 billion in 2014 (Cooperative Group, ).…”

Consumers’ awareness of green products has increased in the last few years, but studies show that the demand for green products has been stagnant. The purpose of this study is to explore the roles of consumers’ perceived readiness to be green and subsequently, how readiness to be green affects consumers’ purchase intention towards green products in an emerging market, Indonesia. A total of 916 survey responses were collected in three universities, two major shopping malls and several housing areas in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The findings reveal that consumers’ attitude (ATT), subjective norm, perceived behavioural control (PBC), pro‐environmental self‐identity (PEI), ethical obligation and consumers’ readiness to be green are the determinants of intention to purchase green products. Consumers’ readiness to be green mediates the effects of ATT, PBC, PEI and perceived sense of responsibility on purchase intention. The study provides further insights into the discrepancy between professed positive attitudes towards the environment and the slow uptake of green behaviour in an emerging market.

“…Gartner and Shen (1992), for example, investigated the impacts of news coverage of the Tiananmen Square conflict on the image of China, finding that people perceived China more negatively after the incident, especially in dimensions such as 'safety and security', and 'receptiveness of local people to tourists'. It is also possible that negative image has a discernible effect on tourists' attitudes and behaviours in relation to sustainable tourism (Line & Hanks, 2015), constituting an important feedback loop that undermines long-term sustainability.…”

Inbound tourist arrivals into China have been declining in recent years, possibly in response to increasing levels of urban air pollution. To examine Westerners' contemporary views on China as a travel destination, with a particular focus on air pollution, this research surveyed 600 US and Australian residents. An online panel survey collected data on cognitive and affective destination image, cognitive and affective risk perceptions, intention to visit China and key demographic variables. The findings show that, while China's cognitive image attributes were perceived positively, potential travelers expressed negative views about travel risks in China in general and about air quality in particular. Importantly, feelings towards the risk of air quality had a significant negative impact on destination image as well as intention to visit China. The research contributes to theory by highlighting the importance of considering affective risk perceptions in destination image studies. While some market segments seemed less sensitive to air pollution than others, this paper concludes that unless China proactively addresses the problem of air pollution, for example by seeking to stimulate positive feelings, international arrivals may continue to be compromised.
