“…Welfare benefits of public goods are commonly measured using stated preference techniques such as CVM and CM. CVM has been widely used for the past four decades (Bateman & Turner, 1993;Mitchell & Carson, 1989;Venkatachalam, 2004) while applications of the CM technique have been rapidly increasing recently in a variety of disciplines such as transportation, health economics, tourism, marketing, cultural economics, and environmental and ecological economics (Choi, 2013;Choi, Ritchie, Papandrea, & Bennett, 2010;Correia, Santos, & Barros, 2007;Hensher & Greene, 2003;Lindberg, Dellaert, & Romer Rassing, 1999;Morey & Rossmann, 2003).…”

Although voluntary carbon offsets have played a key role in the response to addressing climate change in the aviation sector, little is known about consumer preferences for such offsets and their offsetting behaviour in Australia. This paper developed and applied a choice modelling study to measure the economic values of aviation carbon mitigation and to identify major factors influencing air travellers' voluntary climate action. Results show that respondents have a mean willingness to pay (WTP) of AU$21.38 per tonne of CO 2 reduced in the form of voluntary carbon offsets per person. Female travellers might have a higher economic value of carbon mitigation than male counterparts while climate sceptics who are less likely to be carbon offsetters might in fact hold a higher WTP value than non-sceptical travellers. The findings suggest that in terms of WTP the best profile of offset projects might be renewable energy projects in developing countries, of which resulting carbon credits can reduce company legal liabilities. Positive support was found for mitigation measures by airlines, with technological efficiencies more strongly supported than operational practices and biofuels. This paper challenges previous understandings of environmentally motivated behaviour, and notes that behaviour profiles are still evolving.

In total, some 55 000 holiday trips were observed. Destination characteristics such as temperature, GDP and coastline are found to positively influence choice probabilities, while population density and distance have a negative effect on choice. Household specific characteristics such as the numbers of people over 60 and children in a household are found to be important. We also identify differences in preferences across seasons and a change over time of the effect of destination country GDP on Irish holiday destination choices.

“…Specifically, RCL models are an alternative to the more traditional multinomial logit models due to (Train, 2009): i) their ability to deal with the unobserved heterogeneity of tourists, by assuming that the coefficients of the variables vary among tourists. Empirical research shows that heterogeneity in tourism is a fundamental aspect to consider (Barros et al, 2008;Correia et al, 2007); and ii) their flexibility, which allows representation of different correlation patterns among alternatives, which is allimportant to this study as it allows us to reflect the decision structure of collective and individual brands.…”

Detecting Free Riders in Collective Brands through a Hierarchical Choice Process

Free riding behaviors exist in tourism and they should be analyzed from a comprehensive perspective; while the literature has mainly focused on free riders operating in a destination, the destinations themselves might also free ride when they are under the umbrella of a collective brand. The objective of this article is to detect potential free riding destinations by estimating the contribution of the different individual destinations to their collective brands, from the point of view of consumer perception. We argue that these individual contributions can be better understood by reflecting the various stages that tourists follow to reach their final decision. A hierarchical choice process is proposed in which the following choices are nested (not independent): "whether to buy", "what collective brand to buy" and "what individual brand to buy". A Mixed Logit model confirms this sequence, which permits estimation of individual contributions and detection of free riders.
