Opis

Influencing individual behaviour and informing effective governance is an essential part of climate change mitigation and there is a need for a sound understanding of the psychology and social factors that surround contemporary tourism and travel mobilities.

This volume fills this need by offering a critical review of the psychological and behavioural aspects of climate change and tourism mobilities and policies based upon psychological, behavioural and social mechanisms. It provides a more informed understanding of how technology and infrastructure can be developed in order to reach stronger mitigation goals whilst ensuring that resistance from consumers for socio-psychological reasons are minimized.

Recenzje

“In conclusion, Understanding and Governing Sustainable Tourism Mobility provides a mix of empirically tested phenomenological findings on tourism mobility, psychological constraints, and tourist mobility trends, while identifying the flaws of current travelling behaviours and the opportunities for more sustainable modes of travel.” – Alberto Amore, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
