Behavior, environmental conservation, ecology, environment, tourismAbstract
An environmental behavior review was done in order to generate knowledge that contributes to improve the environmental behaviors in the tourism sector. For this reason, a search equation was used in Spanish, the database Scielo, and in English, the database Scopus. 30 articles meeting the inclusion criteria for this study were the result of the search mentioned, where articles published during the past 5 years were included. Hence that the approach of the article is innovative because, according to the bibliographic review, it comprehensively addresses the different models that seek to predict environmental behavior which allows to have the theoretical bases to formulate more complete strategies focused on behavior change. Lastly, it is concluded that it is necessary to use a comprehensive approach in the strategies that seek to promote environmental behaviors in the tourism sector.Downloads
