“…Studies on tourism and temperatures focus predominantly on travel decisions (Gössling, Bredberg, Randow, Sandström, & Svensson, 2006;Maddison, 2001), the perception of weather and expected comfort levels (Mansfeld, Freundlich, & Kutiel, 2007) and on larger links between tourism and the climate system (Gössling, 2002;Martin & Belén, 2005). Our multisensory phenomenology, however, sees tourism as always emplaced in thermal environments in which bodies, materials and practices are ordered, influenced and affected by temperatures (McCormack, 2008).…”

“…Within the tourism literature, air travel's impact on climate change has been explored technically (Gössling et al, 2006) but also critically with reference to tourist perceptions of climate change. As noted by Gössling and Peeters (2007), the debate surrounding flying and climate change represents a contested and highly emotive issue that relates back to broader issues in climate change understandings (Lorenzoni,et al,23 2007) explored earlier in this paper.…”

Sustainable Lifestyles: Sites, Practices, and Policy

Pro-environmental behaviour change remains a high priority for many governments and agencies and there are now numerous programmes aimed at encouraging citizens to adopt sustainable forms of living. However, although programmes for addressing behaviour change in and around the home are well developed, there has been significantly less attention paid to activities beyond this site of practice. This is despite the environmental implications of consumption choices for leisure, tourism and work-related activities.Through focusing on sites of practice as a key framing device, this paper uses data from a series of in-depth interviews to identify three major challenges for academics and practitioners concerned with understanding and promoting more environmentallyresponsible behaviour. First, attention must shift beyond the home as a site of environmental practice to consider the ways in which individuals respond to exhortations towards 'greener' lifestyles in other high-consumption and carbon-intensive settings, Second, in broadening the scope of environmental practice, policy makers need to re-visit their reliance on segmentation models and related social marketing approaches. This is in the light of data that suggest those with strong environmental commitments in the home are often reluctant to engage in similar commitments in other sites of practice. Third, researchers and policy makers therefore need to move beyond the traditional 'siting' of environmental practice towards a spatially sophisticated conceptualisation that accounts for the multiple settings of consumption through mapping the relationships that exist between sites of practice.

“…Hence, tourism products and services, specifically those related to sustainable tourism benefit from tourists' input, as they are key actors to assist destinations to maintain the goals of economic development and conservation [13][14][15]. Nonetheless, international tourists also have negative impacts towards destination's sustainability [17,18], as they may not be aware of their behaviors due to lack of cultural knowledge or ecology [19], nor care given their short length of stay [20].…”

International Tourists’ Perceived Sustainability of Jeju Island, South Korea

2017

This study investigated the causal relationships between international tourists' perceived sustainability of Jeju Island, South Korea and environmentally responsible behavior, revisit intention, and positive word-of-mouth communication. Perceived sustainability was employed as a multidimensional construct comprised of economic, cultural, and environmental aspects. Data were collected from international tourists that visited Jeju Island. The results indicated that environmentally responsible behavior was influenced positively by cultural sustainability, and negatively by environmental sustainability. Revisit intention and positive word-of-mouth communication were significantly affected by the three dimensions of sustainability. Based on the findings, associated implications were suggested for sustainable destination management of Jeju Island.
