Inducing pro-environmental behavior in tourists for the sustainable development of Japan's tourism and hospitality industries

于2022学年，我们的团队参与了以下几项活动。5月，我们与东京的一家酒店管理公司举行了一次会议，讨论在他们的一些酒店进行实验研究的潜在计划。参加会议的有公司总裁和高管，他们建议我们开始在西日本的一家分公司学习。6月，我们的两名项目成员在日本与我们的澳大利亚合作者会面，讨论该项目。8月，该小组访问了目标酒店，将其作为我们实验的潜在地点进行检查。在访问期间，我们与酒店的总经理和管理人员进行了会谈，并进行了访谈，并检查了设施。为了准备实验，我们认为了解日本游客在酒店住宿期间的环保态度和行为的整体趋势至关重要。为此，我们在日本一家调查公司的协助下，制定并开展了初步调查。对收集到的数据进行了分析，并在日本的一次国际会议上介绍了初步结果。调查的结果也被用作设计我们实验研究的基础。除了每月的会议，我们的团队举行了一系列面对面的会议。主要研究者分别于12月和1月访问了科比和大坂的项目成员。这些会议使我们能够讨论项目更新，解决任何问题，并计划我们项目的未来步骤。

During the academic year 2022, our team engaged in several activities as below. In May, we held a meeting with a hotel management company in Tokyo, to discuss a potential plan for an experimental study at some of their hotels. The meeting was attended by the company president and executives, who suggested that we begin our study at one of their branches in West Japan. In June, two of our project members met with our collaborator from Australia in Japan to discuss the project. In August, the team visited the target hotel to inspect it as a potential site for our experiment. During the visit, we held a meeting with the hotel's general manager and executives, conducted interviews, and inspected the facilities.In preparation for the experiment, we deemed it crucial to understand the overall trends in pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours among Japanese tourists during their hotel stays. To achieve this, we developed and conducted a preliminary survey with the assistance of a survey company in Japan. The collected data was analysed, and the preliminary findings were presented at an international conference in Japan. The results of the survey were also used as a foundation for designing our experiment study.In addition to monthly meetings, our team held a series of face-to-face meetings. The principal investigator visited project members in Kobe and Osaka in December and January, respectively. These meetings allowed us to discuss project updates, address any concerns, and plan future steps for our project.
