“…Self-completion questionnaires were distributed to owners and managers of tourism firms. All tourism firms were sampled regardless of their current CSR involvement, as in previous studies (Carlsen, Getz, & Ali-Knight, 2001;Revell, Stokes, & Chen, 2010). Pre-testing with academics, industry and expert in tourism and CSR strengthened the validity of the instrument.…”

While there is a growing literature related with corporate social responsibility (CSR) in hospitality and tourism large firms, much remains to be done in the case of CSR in tourism Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). In this paper we show three studies regarding this particular aspect through the evidence present in different destinations: Catalonia, European natural parks and Chile. Among the conclusions can be highlighted the prevalence of altruism in the reasons for being responsible, the introduction of increasingly advanced measures or their impact on different business variables, highlighting the financial performance.

Because rural life and rural values that become important again in recent years, it has been quite necessary to examine the development of rural by the conceptual sense. Both the world and Turkey hosts qualitatively and quantitatively important rural areas that worth conceptual and practical examining. The scope of this paper contains a comprehensive review of literature on academic research in this field of research and this paper aims to be effective in realization of rural tourism development. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the characteristics of national and international academic studies on rural tourism in a general point of view. In the literature review, more than 400 national and international academic studies were accessed. The study was carried out during the first four months of the year 2016 in reviewable scientific resources by utilizing the scientific resources published in Turkey and abroad. As the result of this conducted study, it was observed that the history of academic studies on rural tourism dates back to twenty years approximately. The studies which were not frequent in the beginning, showed increase as the rural tourism started to become popular. Although nature and rural elements are one of the main factors of tourism sector, it can be evaluated as a considerable deficiency of tourism literature that the studies in this type of tourism has only increased in recent years. It was remarkable in the reports that general topics were handled in terms of conceptual aspect, however, a tendency towards specific topics were as well observed in recent years. When theses of the literature are reviewed, it was seen that national theses are the most frequent ones in this field. No academic educational program on rural tourism was found in Turkey, however, graduate programs for this field are also not widespread in international area. ÖzetKırsal yaşam ve kırsal değerlerin tekrar önemli hale geldiği son yıllarda, turizm faaliyetlerinin popülerliğinin de yardımıyla ortaya çıkan kırsal turizm olgusunun, kavramsal anlamdaki gelişiminin incelenmesi oldukça gereklidir. Gerek dünyada, gerekse de nitelik ve nicelik olarak önemli kırsal alanları içerisinde barındıran Türkiye’de, son yıllarda bu alanda yapılan akademik araştırmalara ilişkin yazın taramasını içeren bu çalışma, kırsal turizm gelişmesinde etkili olabilecek araştırmaların gerçekleştirilebilmesi ve geliştirilebilmesi için önemli bir analizin sonuçlarını yansıtmaktadır. Bu çalışmada da kırsal turizm konusundaki ulusal ve uluslararası akademik çalışmaların özelliklerini genel bir bakış açısıyla ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan nitel yöntem (yazın taraması) ile ulusal ve uluslararası 400’den fazla akademik çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma, 2016 yılının ilk dört ayı boyunca, çevrimiçi olarak taranabilen veri tabanlarında, yurt içi ve yurt dışında yayınlanan bilimsel kaynaklardan faydalanılarak oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda kırsal turizme yönelik akademik çalışmaların geçmişinin yaklaşık yirmi yıl önceye dayandığı görülmüştür. Başlarda az sayıda olan çalışmalar, kırsal turizm kavramının popülerleşmeye başlamasıyla artış göstermiştir. Kırsal turizm alanında düzenlenecek ve yinelenecek olan kongre ve sempozyumlar sayesinde, bu alanda yayınlanan bildiri sayısının giderek artacağı tahmin edilebilir. Bildirilerde daha çok genel konuların kavramsal açıdan işlendiği dikkat çekmiştir. Ancak son yıllarda spesifik konulara yönelim de görülmüştür. Kırsal turizmin ulusal ve uluslararası bazda etkinliklere sıklıkla konu olduğundan bahsetmek mümkündür. Ancak kırsal turizm alanında Türkiye’de herhangi bir akademik eğitim programı bulunamaması, bu alana yönelik bir eksiklik olarak göze çarpmaktadır. Bununla birlikte bu alana yönelik yükseköğretim programlarının uluslararası alanda da çok yaygın olmadığı görülmüştür.

Purpose -The objective of this study is to investigate how restaurant managers' demographic characteristics influence Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices in the restaurant industry. Design/Methodology/Approach -In order to analyze the influence of managers' demographic characteristics on CSR practices, industry specific practices relevant to the Slovenian restaurant industry were identified: regular financial assistance to activities and projects of the local community, employment of local staff, cooperation with local producers, active separation of all types of waste, active recyclement, active energy savement, and payment of liabilities towards suppliers on time. The quantitative research focuses on the correlation between managers' demographics and CSR practices. Data were collected through quantitative field research by applying a structured self administerred questionnaire. Findings -Research results show that the main reason for acting responsibly is related to managers' years of age, experience, and level of education. The most obvious finding to emerge from this study is that all demographic variables included in the research have a statistically significant influence in explaining restaurants' CSR behaviour. The most strongly influenced CSR practice is "Payment of liabilities". This practice is driven by managers' age, years of experience, and level of education. By understanding both, managers' demographic characteristics and their influence on CSR practices, it is now possible to more successfully implement CSR policies in the restaurant industry. It is suggested that future studies focuse on the analysis of CSR practices and managers' psychographic characteristics. Originality -This is the very first study to analyse the influence of managers' demographic characteristics on CSR engagement in the restaurant industry.
