[Research Contribution] Sustainable Tourism from a Behavioral Perspective: When Destination Choice Becomes an Ethical Pre-Trip Decision

14 Aug 2026

Sustainable tourism is not determined solely by how tourists behave upon arrival at a destination; it begins earlier—at the very moment they choose where to go.

Their study, published in the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, developed the “Ethically Minded Tourist Behavior” (EMTB) scale, designed to measure and promote responsible destination choices, thereby contributing to a more practical orientation toward sustainable tourism.

[Green Vibe Only] Protecting the Ocean Starts at UEH's Green Practice Station

10 Jun 2026

Did you know that the straw or plastic cup you casually toss away today could very well end its life somewhere in the ocean? Plastic waste from land is one of the primary drivers of marine ecosystem degradation. According to data from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the city generates approximately 9,000 tonnes of household waste every day, of which plastic waste accounts for roughly 1,800 tonnes. Without proper source separation and risk control, large quantities of non-biodegradable waste will infiltrate the city's canal systems, leak into the ocean, and directly disrupt underwater ecological chains.
