Persuading tourists to use fewer natural resources when on holidays

该项目旨在将可持续地减少资源使用纳入旅游业的主流，旅游业是世界上最大、资源最密集的部门之一。该项目质疑了亲环境态度是亲环境行为的先决条件的观点，并在这样做的过程中促进重新设计住宿方面的社会做法，以实现更大的可持续性成果。使用实验设计，该项目将提供经验证据的有效性相结合的智能技术和人际沟通到智能服务干预，以改变客人资源的使用。期望的结果将是减少资源消耗，提高客人满意度，并采取以证据为基础的方法来实现更绿色的主流经济。

This project aims to bring sustainable reductions in resource use to mainstream tourism, one of the world’s largest, most resource-intensive sectors. The project challenges the view that pro-environmental attitudes are a pre-requisite for pro-environmental behaviours, and in doing so promotes redesigning social practices in accommodation to achieve greater sustainability outcomes. Using an experimental design, this project will provide empirical evidence on the efficacy of combining smart technology and interpersonal communication into a smart-service intervention to change guest resource use. The desired outcomes will be less resource consumption, greater guest satisfaction, and an evidence-based approach to a greener mainstream economy.
