Abstract

Understanding the formation mechanism of tourists’environmentally responsible behavior plays a crucial role in promoting environmental protection at tourist destinations. This study selected two coastal tourist areas in Hainan Province, which are mainly focused on sports tourism and sightseeing tourism respectively, as the locations for distributing questionnaires. Using Structural Equation modeling(SEM) and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), the study explored the influencing factors and driving mechanisms of environmentally responsible behavior among sports tourists and sightseeing tourists. The results of the study show that: 1）Recreational experience preference and place attachment have a significant positive impact on environmental responsibility behavior. Recreational experience preference have a significant positive impact on place attachment, which also plays a partial mediating role in this process. 2）The recreational experience preference and place attachment of sports tourists have a more significant impact on their environmental responsible behavior. The promoting effect of sports tourists’recreational experience preference on their place attachment is more significant than that of sightseeing tourists. Additionally, the mediating role of place attachment in the relationship between recreational experience preferences and environmentally responsible behavior is more significant for sports tourists than for sightseeing tourists. 3）Eight endogenous factors form three configuration paths for sports tourists’environmentally responsible behavior and six configuration paths for sightseeing tourists’environmentally responsible behavior. 4）The environmentally responsible behavior of sports tourists is mainly characterized by an active emotional-driven mechanism, while that of sightseeing tourists is mainly characterized a more complex and diversified driving mechanism.

世界遗产地空间潮汐式旅游拥挤问题相当普遍且日益凸显,已成为旅游地理学研究的前沿领域。以黄山风景区为例,基于旅游拥挤多维内涵,构建物理拥挤和心理拥挤二维指标,结合游客访谈,分析了景区的拥挤特征及影响因素。研究发现：① 不同地点物理拥挤与心理拥挤呈现不同的表征关系;② 由于游客目标与需求不同,在资源吸引力、服务设施和空间特征等因素的触发下,导致高山比低山物理拥挤度强,线性空间比点状空间的拥挤感知强烈,这是景区发展不均衡且与游客互动缺乏动态性、主动性和创新性的表现。最后,基于特殊时段和特殊空间背景下多样性和动态性的空间-行为互动模式,提出“奶酪型”“小丑型”“泄洪型”和“花瓶型”四类调控类型。

以风险边缘理论和情绪评价理论为依据，以海南省万宁市日月湾为案例地，以风险偏好者为调查对象，引入情绪和体验质量作为中介，采用结构方程模型和中介效应分析方法，探究风险感知对冲浪旅游者重游意向的影响机制。结果表明：1）风险感知对冲浪者的情绪唤起有显著的直接正向影响，且情绪在风险感知对冲浪旅游者重游意向的影响中发挥完全中介作用，因此调动旅游者的积极情绪至关重要。2）体验质量在情绪对重游意向的影响中发挥部分中介作用，且中介效应略高于直接效应，因此，冲浪旅游经营者不仅要充分调动冲浪者的积极情绪，更要想方设法让冲浪者获得更高质量的冲浪旅游体验，才能更好地吸引冲浪者重游。3）为促进冲浪旅游可持续发展，日月湾应以风险偏好者为重点营销对象；建立冲浪俱乐部（店）管理规范和冲浪教练考核机制；加强安全监管，护航冲浪体验；助力成功冲浪，激励积极情绪。
