“…The attempt to define an absolute green purchasing profile and consumption for Generation Z is still being observed and analyzed, because the reactions, personal implications, affinities, perceptions are not stabilized in order to be able to build a standard profile, but what is clearly reflected until now confirms the fact that we are talking about a more mature, conscious, economical generation, with an emphasis on the principles of a healthy life, in agreement with the norms of environmental protection. The first years of professional activity for Generation Z largely coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which influenced certain components of their natural behavior, given the state of uncertainty experienced, with multiple emotional connotations (Butnaru et al, 2021). The coming years will be able to stabilize the behavior, perception and profile of the Generation Z consumer of green products, including the exact determination of the impact of green marketing practices.…”

Introduction: Organizations currently emphasize green marketing strategies by implementing marketing practices, aiming to design, produce, promote and sell green products. Thus, both consumers and producers have turned their attention to the category of environmental friendly products, taking into account that the concept of green marketing is now being given greater importance. Responsible organizations have begun to adapt their strategies in production, promotion and interaction activities with consumers or potential consumers of organic products in the context we are going through, when environmental protection becomes an imperative. Analysis of the sustainable behavior of Generation Z is a determining factor from the perspective of the task that this generation will naturally take on, in terms of environmental responsibility.Methods: The research aims to determine the profile of the Generation Z consumer, in order to adapt the strategic actions of the government or organizations to direct and educate as objectively and efficiently as possible towards adopting the principles of ecological, sustainable and responsible consumption. Based on the data collected through a survey, we analyzed the sustainable behavior of Generation Z consumers studying at Romanian universities where there are specializations in this field. The research is quantitative, using structural equation modelling with partial least squares (PLSSEM) to test the hypotheses regarding the relationship between the determining factors and the sustainable behavior of Generation Z consumers.Results and Discussion: The results show that there is a positive relationship between both the sustainable behavior of Generation Z consumers and the satisfaction it conveys to them, as well as their environmental protection activities. However, there is no relationship between the sustainable behavior of Generation Z consumers and the green marketing practices of the organizations, environmental issues and their identification with the environmentally responsible consumer.

“…Sumberdaya ekowisata terdiri dari sumberdaya alam dan sumberdaya manusia yang dapat diintegrasikan menjadi komponen terpadu bagi pemanfaatan wisata [13]. Berdasarkan konsep pemanfaatan, wisata dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi Wisata alam (nature tourism), merupakan aktivitas wisata yang ditujukan pada pengalaman terhadap kondisi alam atau daya tarik panoramanya, Wisata budaya (cultural tourism), merupakan wisata dengan kekayaan budaya sebagai obyek wisata dengan penekanan pada aspek pendidikan, Ekowisata (ecotourism, green tourism), merupakan wisata berorientasi pada lingkungan untuk menjembatani kepentingan perlindungan sumberdaya alam / lingkungan dan industri kepariwisataan [14].…”

Safari Lagoi is a 8 year old tourism destination in an integrated tourism area Bintan Resort. The good fact can be found that Safari Lagoi had atracted almost 4,000 tourists in 2018 that increased significantly to 30,000 tourists in 2019. As a part of an integrated tourism destionation in Bintan Resort, Safari Lagoi gives a positive impact both direct or indirectly to the existing stakeholders. Thus, it is important to do an observation upon the correlation and impact that arise in this area. This impact analysis reletad to dual role of Safari Lagoi as tourism destination as well as nature conservation. Observation used is an analyses of primary and secondary data, includes tourists visiting data, investment, using quetionair and/or direct interview to get a feedback that will be analysed using SWOT to identify strategic recommendation for further development of Safari Lagoi. Bintan Resort has a big potential for ecotourism. The presence of Safari Lagoi offer a special attractiveness for tourists with their Flora and Fauna concervation and can become a key driver for ecotourism development in this integrated area. Safari Lagoi gives a positive impacts towards economy, social and culture, and environment. Safari Lagoi needs to make use the momentum of high tourists' animo and other stakeholder's positive feedback to expedite further development through good synergy with Bintan Resorts Master Developer.

“…Although there are still controversies about the relationship between tourism and carbon emissions in empirical research, the academic community basically recognizes the direct impact of tourism sectors in promoting carbon emissions. Tourism transport is the most vital polluting sources [6,40,41], and tourism activity as well as the accommodation sector are also the important sources of carbon emissions [34,42,43]. For instance, a global estimation by UNWTO-UNEP-WMO [1] reported that the share of tourism in global CO 2 emissions was at 4.9%, among which 75% was derived from tourism transport.…”

Elucidating the correlation among tourism, CO2 emissions, and economic growth from a spatiotemporal standpoint is of utmost significance for the tourism industry responding to China’s “double-carbon” goal. This study expansively uses the bottom-up approach, Theil index, Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA), and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to calculate tourism CO2 emissions (TE) at different spatial scales in China during 2000–2019, and based on the TE, we further analyze the spatial heterogeneity of the TE intensity (TEI) and examine the spatiotemporal effects of driving factors on TE increases. The results revealed that (i) China’s TE increased from 3714.06 × 104 t to 19,396.00 × 104 t, and the TEI declined from 47 to 9 g/yuan during 2000–2019. (ii) The high-TEI provinces varied from agglomerative distribution in the north by western region to scattered distribution in the eastern region. (iii) China’s TEI exhibited increasing spatial differences, primarily within regions during 2000–2009, which also distributed with both the global and local agglomeration in space before 2014, and since then, only the local agglomeration enhanced and characterized by diffusing low–low (L–L) agglomeration from the east to the central and west regions. (iv) The tourism industrial scale and the industrial economy exerted cumulative effects on TE increases, and the energy intensity and energy structure exerted reduction effects. The spatial structure played different roles on TE among the regions. Policy implications are also discussed depending on the study results.
