Potentials for reducing climate impacts from tourism transport behavior
- 2021

- Emissions of greenhouse gases from tourism transport are rising globally, with air transport accounting for the largest share. Although travel is not likely to decrease drastically, people could travel differently, and still have similar experiences. This study aims to map the emissions from air travel and analyse the theoretical potential for emissions reduction by changing transport mode and destinations, and the readiness potential for emissions reduction based on tourists’ stated readiness to change their travel behaviour. The theoretical potential was assessed by analysing alternative trips to closer destinations and using transport modes with lower emissions or through virtual meetings. The readiness potential was assessed by a survey designed to capture people’s stated readiness to change their behaviour. The results show a theoretical potential for an emissions reduction of 67%, while the readiness potential is 26%. About half of the readiness potential for reductions is from changing destination, while only a small share is from changing transport mode. This shows that, when accounting for people’s readiness to change behaviour, destination choice has a greater potential to reduce emissions compared to transport mode choice. This finding has implications for policy makers in designing policy measures to reduce emissions.

Objectives, Objects and Objectivity: On Practitioner-Academic Collaboration
- 2016
-
In: Tourism and Leisure Research. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1705-0154. ; 39:2, s. 303-320
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the area of tourism management, the previous research shows that collaboration among stakeholders is crucial in achieving or aspiring toward sustainable development because the field is highly fragmented with numerous stakeholders constituting the tourism product. In a single-case study, the analytical concept of boundary objects is used to show that not only the human relationships but also the objects created and used in such collaborations must be considered to understand how such collaboration can influence sustainable tourism practices. The results show the importance of such objects in becoming part of everyday practices and thereby support a sustained collaboration. Additionally, the results indicate that the creation of boundary objects can contribute to a reduced focus on consensus, and therefore, the professional integrity of the parties involved can be maintained.

Commensurability and sustainability: Triple impact assessments of a tourism event
- 2013
-
In: Tourism Management. - : Elsevier BV. - 0261-5177 .- 1879-3193. ; 37, s. 99-109
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this study, a model for measuring impacts of a tourist event from sustainability perspectives and in a common monetary metric is developed. The aim is to achieve commensurability. The proposed model is tested on a three-day music festival and the results demonstrate a possibility to produce a sustainability impact analysis in a uniform metric. Measured in monetary terms, socio-cultural impacts carry weight just as economic impacts do whereas environmental impacts have little importance for the total assessment. This illustrates how the low market value of emission rights make environmental concerns negligible from an economic perspective. Finally, issues related to scope of the assessment, commensurability and opportunity cost are discussed and possibilities for future studies are suggested. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Estimating Use and Non-use Values of a Music Festival
- 2012
-
In: Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1502-2250 .- 1502-2269. ; 12:3, s. 215-231
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Impacts of a music festival may appear in many forms and research in the area of impact assessments is at present developing wider perspectives than being limited to economic impact assessments. Concepts like social, cultural and environmental impacts are now appropriate and traditional cost–benefit analysis is regaining momentum. The purpose of this study was first, to discuss how the value of a festival can be assessed and understood within a cost–benefit framework. Second, it was to evaluate a Scandinavian music festival in terms of Use and Non-use values by the contingent valuation method. The results illustrate the implications of a wider perspective regarding the impacts of a festival. Use value, representing the core experience, is the largest value (€7.4 million) but Non-use value is also important (€3 million). The latter includes the perceived value of externalities such as socio-cultural and environmental impacts which are highly relevant from a sustainability perspective. One conclusion is that Use and Non-use values within a cost–benefit framework can help managers and researchers understand value creation of festivals better.

Linking event quality to economic impact: A study of quality, satisfaction, use value and expenditure at a music festival
- 2017
-
In: Journalof Vacation Marketing. - : SAGE Publications. - 1356-7667 .- 1479-1870. ; 23:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this study is to develop and test, in an event context, a model describing the relationships between perceived quality, satisfaction, use value and consumer expenditures. A model is proposed and tested using data from a Web and telephone survey of 326 visitors to a Swedish music festival. Findings from bivariate correlation, multiple regression and structural equation models show that links are significant and support a chain of dependencies. Better managed festivals seem to generate higher economic impact at the destination as well as in the festival area. Implications of this are that festival managers can influence the economic impact by careful design, planning and operation of the festival and that the DMO can positively influence the economic impact by monitoring the quality of publicly supported festivals and events. Quality standards and quality certification could provide means for such developments.
