Quantifying plastics waste accumulations on coastal tourism sites in Zanzibar, Tanzania

Among the different impacts of coastal tourism on the environment, its effect on public health has a special significance. The large increase in population during the high season usually results to an increase in the amount of wastewater produced. If the necessary infrastructure - which most of the time the developing countries lack - for handling these wastes is not available, the sea is polluted causing serious problems. To investigate the effects of sea pollution onpublic health a survey has been conducted in Bodrum and Çeşme; the two most important touristic resorts in Turkey. A questionnaire about the health problems which tourists suffer as well as their culinary habits, swimming habits etc. was distributed. At the same time the pollution level in the sea was determined in the form of coliform concentration. As a result, it was proved that those swimming in polluted waters suffer from gastro-intestinal diseases more than others. Furthermore foreigners and children had been proved to be more susceptible to pollution due to the lack of immunity. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of the rate of pollution as well as of the microbial self purification capacity (T90) on public health.

Responsible Environmental Behavior

There has been increasing interest in coastal tourism, sparking a debate on the responsible environmental behavior of travelers visiting sustainable destinations. To mitigate this issue, destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and environmental activists are trying to develop strategic approaches (i.e., by using digital technologies) to enhance the sustainable behavior of travelers. Environmental responsiveness and its impact on sustainable destinations is gaining attention by companies, scholars, and institutions. However, the relevant literature has not addressed social media user-generated content regarding sustainable destinations. Sharing stakeholder knowledge, activities, and experience on social media could accomplish this goal. Hence, this paper aims to explore travelers′ responsible environmental behavior towards coastal tourism within the social media user-generated content paradigm. To measure the effect of user-generated content (UGC), i.e., cognitive triggers and affective triggers, on the responsible environmental behavior of travelers, a survey questionnaire was used to collect data (n = 506) from the world’s longest sandy sea beach, Cox’s Bazar, located in the Southern part of Bangladesh. The data were examined by structural equation modeling (SEM). The results revealed that cognitive and affective triggers of user-generated content influence travelers’ environmental concerns and attitudes, making a significant contribution to shaping responsible environmental behavior. Additionally, the findings show that environmental concerns and attitudes play a significant role in producing commitment towards a sustainable coastal tourism practice. This study contributes to the effectiveness of user-generated content for persuasive interactions with destination marketing organizations to develop sustainable tourism practices.
