Rural B&B‘s environmentally-friendly features not only can help them reduce operating costs, but also can help them comply with the market demand for the protection of natural and cultural resources. By reviewing the related research on the tourism industry and the environmentally-friendly features, we found that most of the studies tend to take the enterprise as the research object, and study the natural environmentally-friendly features, less research has been examined on the consumer attitudes and socio-cultural environmentally-friendly features from the view of consumer. To explore the relationship between rural B&B’s environmentally-friendly features and consumer purchase intention, questionnaire survey was used to gather the primary data, and statistical analysis was carried out,collecting a total of 343 questionnaires; meanwhile, 26 provincial-level 227 rural B&B total of 541 effective network commentary as a secondary data that were collected from rural B&B’s online reviews were analyzed by content analysis.

摘要:

实现环境友好不仅能帮助乡村民宿降低运营成本,也能帮助其顺应市场对保护自然和文化资源的需求。了解消费者购买意愿受到哪些环境友好特征的影响,能够指导乡村民宿进行针对性的改进。本文通过对一手数据和二手数据的定量、定性分析,发现:第一,乡村民宿的环境友好特征与消费者购买意愿之间存在正相关关系;第二,人文环境友好在消费者选择购买时扮演了更为重要的角色,会显著提高消费者的购买意愿;第三,不同乡村民宿环境友好特征维度对消费者购买意愿的影响不同,其中保护传承当地文化、社区参与及主客交往、倡导绿色环保生活3个维度的影响最大。
