本研究考察了价值观、环境关注度和为保护环境而接受经济牺牲的意愿对游客购买生态可持续旅游替代方案的意愿的影响。这些数据是在基于网络的调查中收集的，并使用结构方程模型进行分析。研究结果表明，普遍主义与环境关怀在假设的方向上是相关的。研究发现，环境关切与为保护环境而接受经济牺牲的意愿之间以及环境关切与购买生态可持续旅游替代品的意向之间存在显著的正相关关系。此外，还发现愿意接受经济牺牲以保护环境的意愿与购买生态可持续旅游替代品的意愿之间存在正相关关系。文中还讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
The present study examines the impact of values, environmental concern, and willingness to accept economic sacrifices to protect the environment on tourists' intentions to buy ecologically sustainable tourism alternatives. The data were collected in a web-based survey and analysed by using structural equation modeling. The results show that universalism is related to environmental concern in the hypothesized direction. Significant positive relationships were found between environmental concern and the willingness to accept economic sacrifices to protect the environment, as well as between environmental concern and the intentions to buy ecologically sustainable tourism alternatives. Further, a positive relationship was found between willingness to accept economic sacrifices to protect the environment and the intentions to buy ecologically sustainable tourism alternatives. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
