Funded Activity Summary

Triggering pro-environmental behaviour in pleasure-seeking contexts. This project aims to trigger environmentally friendly behaviours in tourists rather than relying on government or industry action. Using field experiments, the effectiveness of newly developed theory-based measures to reduce plate waste at hotel buffets will be tested. Given one billion tourists travel each year, the expected outcomes from this project can inform measures to substantially improve the sustainability of tourism globally, regionally and locally.
