Resumo(s)
Environmental beliefs, intentions, and behaviors can be derived from three types of
values, namely, egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric. Consequently, the understanding of
tourists’ value orientations and their association with environmental concern is crucial
for improving productive strategies in the management of natural resources and
protected areas. This study aims to scrutinize the priorities of tripartite value orientation
between national (Malaysian) and international tourists (mostly European), and to
investigate the contribution of these three value orientations to tourists’ environmental
concern. Results disclose that Malaysian tourists valorize egoistic values more than
tourists from Europe and other developed countries and are thus less concerned about
the environment compared with their international counterparts. Furthermore, egoistic
values have a strong negative relationship with environmental concern, whereas
altruistic and biospheric values are positively related to this variable.
