Q2. What are the future works in this paper?
This further develops the work of social psychologists such as De Young ( 2000 ), Thogersen ( 1999 ) and Thogersen and Olander ( 2003 ) who have argued that the notion of ‘ spill-over ’ or catalyst behaviours ( DEFRA, 2008 ) is important to document and track. The evidence in this paper suggests that spill-over is a complex, lifestyle-specific process and that studying leisure and tourism contexts is particularly important for tracking behavioural change. Second, the research provides further evidence that tourism practices based on lowcost air travel have become embedded into lifestyle aspirations and this will be a hard habit to break ( Becken, 2007 ). Third, the research suggested that for some individuals, being environmentally conscious at home could be used to justify, or ‘ trade-off ’, their lack of commitments whilst on holiday.
Q3. What is the purpose of the research?
The research will also feed into a current study on promoting sustainable travel, which is exploring attitudes towards travel in a range of contexts.
Q4. What is the main point of the paper?
The evidence in this paper suggests that spill-over is a complex, lifestyle-specific process and that studyingleisure and tourism contexts is particularly important for tracking behavioural change.
Q5. What was the main theme of the discussion guide?
Foreach group, a discussion guide explored home-based environmental activities, attitudes towards sustainable holidays and low cost air travel.
Q6. What was the purpose of the survey?
This survey was primarily designed to recruit participants to upcoming focus group discussions and so a limited sample size was selected based on a non-probabilistic method of selection.
Q7. What did they say about the taxation of flying?
this group also stated that whilst they would use off-setting schemes and would support fair and ‘ring fenced’ taxes, they would also be willing to pay these, rather than reducing their flights.
