Research from the University of Portsmouth reveals that deep-seated concern for climate change does not automatically drive tourists to pay extra for greener holidays. The study indicates a disconnect between environmental awareness and financial willingness to act, suggesting that motivation alone is insufficient to guarantee sustainable behavior during travel. This finding challenges assumptions that sustainability advocacy will naturally lead to higher spending on eco-friendly options.

Key points

• University of Portsmouth researchers found that tourists caring deeply about climate change are not necessarily willing to pay extra to reduce the environmental impact of their vacations.

Context and limitations
