The study aims to assess the involvement of international tourism organisations in including sustainable development goals (SDGs) from Agenda 2030 in their declarations, aims and reporting goal achievement. The sample covered all organisations (72500) included in the database of the Union of International Associations (UIA). Textual analysis, in particular, content analysis of the UIA website and the websites of investigated organisations, was conducted. Ninety per cent of active organisations include SDGs in their declarations. There were no statistically significant correlations found between the declared goals and organisation type and other features. More than half of active organisations have any relation to SDGs in own aims/missions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines cross-cultural memorable local food experiences as perceived by international tourists using multilevel analysis. Based on the literature review, eight hypotheses were developed. A total of 925 questionnaires were completed by US tourists who travelled to Europe or Asia. These international tourists' food-related personality traits significantly affected memorable food experiences relating to novelty, cultural knowledge, and flavor. Food neophilia showed a positive relationship with memorable food experiences, whereas food neophobia showed a negative effect. It was found that cultural distance acts as a facilitator or an inhibitor in producing positive memorable food experiences, according to individuals' personality traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study proposed a theoretical framework based on Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory to examine tourists' intentions to undertake agrotourism and to behave pro-environmentally while travelling in Vietnam, and assess the moderating effect of tourist sources. The results validate VBN theory explaining that tourists' intentions could be determined through the chain of values beliefs, and personal norms, contributing to the theoretical evidence within the context of Vietnam's agrotourism. Practical implications were drawn from the findings that reveal some similarities and differences between Vietnamese and international tourists, indicating that two groups are not homogeneous then suggest marketing strategies for Vietnam's agrotourism market.
