Abstract

ABSTRACT Consumption paradoxes create challenges for truly sustainable production and consumption practices across industries. This is also visible in tourism. Although today’s consumers have a greater consciousness of their own environmental footprints, demand for leisure travel appears insatiable as expressed in constantly growing international tourism until 2019. With the aim to achieve transformation towards more sustainability in future tourism, the lens has turned towards the consumer’s central role in the fulfilment of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. This article puts experienced tourists into the spotlight and aims to explore whether and how the experienced tourist’s desire for eudaemonic and immersive experiences can contribute to more sustainable travel patterns. It adopts a supply-demand perspective through a mixed-methods research design implemented in Germany and New Zealand. Results demonstrate that tourists with higher self-assessed experience levels are more likely to travel for eudaemonic reasons and adopt sustainable travel patterns compared to less experienced tourists. This article argues that experienced tourists are central in the transformation towards more sustainable tourism futures and that a better understanding of them is needed. These novel insights advance theory and practice, contributing to closing existing knowledge gaps related to sustainable consumption in a tourism context.

通过经验丰富的游客对生态环境和沉浸感的渴望实现可持续旅游
摘要消费悖论给各行各业真正可持续的生产和消费实践带来了挑战。这在旅游业中也很明显。尽管今天的消费者对自己的环境足迹有了更大的意识,但休闲旅行的需求似乎是永不满足的,直到2019年,国际旅游业不断增长。为了实现未来旅游业向更可持续发展的转变,人们的目光转向了消费者在实现联合国可持续发展目标中的核心作用。本文将有经验的游客置于聚光灯下,旨在探索有经验的旅游者对生态和沉浸式体验的渴望是否以及如何有助于更可持续的旅游模式。它通过在德国和新西兰实施的混合方法研究设计,采用了供需视角。结果表明,与经验不足的游客相比,自我评估体验水平较高的游客更有可能出于环保原因旅行,并采用可持续的旅行模式。本文认为,经验丰富的游客是向更可持续的旅游业未来转型的核心,需要更好地了解他们。这些新颖的见解推进了理论和实践,有助于缩小旅游业中与可持续消费相关的现有知识差距。

期刊介绍: Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism is the leading Nordic journal for hospitality and tourism research. SJHT aims at initiating and stimulating high-impact and innovative research relevant for academics and practitioners within the hospitality and tourism industries. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach including, but not limited to geography, psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, and economics. SJHT encourages research based on a variety of methods, including both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The journal covers all types of articles relevant to the Nordic region, as well as the North Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic regions. We also welcome reviews and conceptual articles with a broader geographical scope that clearly enhance the theoretical development of the hospitality and tourism field. In addition to research articles, we welcome research notes and book reviews. Published articles are the result of anonymous reviews by at least two referees chosen by the editors for their specialist knowledge.
