Résumé
In this chapter, we investigate whether giving potential consumers the
possibility of social visibility through online social networks might make
green tourist services more attractive. Focusing on carbon offsetting
schemes in aviation, we additionally test the predicting power of three
determinants of general pro-environmental consumption—environmental
knowledge, perceived efficacy and environmental concern—for the
willingness to pay for this specific green product. We use a hypothetical
scenario to build an experimental approach, and a subsequent survey to
measure the independent variables. Hypotheses are tested using multiple
regression analysis. In line with costly signalling theory and impression
management theory, results suggest that online social visibility raises the
willingness to pay for green products. Moreover, general environmental concern is a good predictor of the willingness to pay for carbon offsetting
schemes.
