Adopting new ethical tourist behavior requires consumer innovation. Using a sample of ordinary travelers, the research inves- tigates behavioral innovativeness through constructing a hierarchy of Ethical Tourist Behavior (ETB). As ETB fits the Rasch Model, behavior might provide a link between the relatively static individual innovativeness and the dynamic Diffusion of InnovationModel. Universalism, age and gender influence behavioral ethical tourist in- novativeness. Using Rasch Modeling and relating results to the levels of adoption and Diffusion of Innovations, companies gain insights about the success potential and uptake of future innovations. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Introduction The level of consumption in the developed world is not sustainable (Sheth, Sethia, & Srinivas, 2011). Governments, NPOs, businesses, and consumers accept the need for sustainable development, but investiga- tions reveal a large gap between intention and implementation (Dexhage and Murphy, 2010). The acceleration of sustainable produc- tion and consumption patterns is the overarching goal of a major 10-year United Nations initiative that includes six focus areas (UNEP, 2015) including Sustainable Tourism development (Zorba and UNEP Secretariat, 2014). The tourism industry is an essential economic sector for developing and developed countries, with tourists' spending accounting for 9% of worldwide GDP in 2012 (Bonham and Mak, 2014). The industry's environmental impact is responsible for 14% of all greenhouse gases (McKercher and Prideaux, 2011). The high emission levels cause the sector's substantial impact on climate change (McKercher, Prideaux, Cheung, and Law, 2010). Consumers have an increasing interest in ethical and/or sustainable consumption (Carrington, Neville, and Whitwell, 2010). Ethical issues are more salient and consumers start to act accordingly (Newholm and Shaw, 2007). Previous research finds considerable evidence that people act less ethically on holiday than in their daily lives (Dolnicar and Grün, 2009). Tourists undertake different behaviors and ethical holiday behaviors' adoption occurs only slowly (Kroesen, 2013). Activities, practices or ideas that consumers perceive as new 4 3 479 8172. A. Ganglmair-Wooliscroft), are innovations (Goldsmith, d'Hauteville, and Flynn, 1998) and the newuptake of ethical holiday behavior is a sign of consumer innovative- ness (Roehrich, 2004). This research develops a hierarchy of Ethical Tourist Behavior (ETB) and, using the RaschModel (Rasch, 1960/80), explores whether report- ed ETB can provide a link between individual behavioral innovativeness and Diffusion of Innovation (Rogers, 1995). By definition, Rasch's logis- tic Item Response Curve (Bond and Fox, 2007) and the Diffusion of Innovation's cumulative adoption function are identical. If behavior that people report fits the Rasch Model, the model might act as a link between relatively stable individual innovativeness and the dynamic Diffusion of Innovation Model. The Rasch Model is perfectly suitable for this type of investigation as its results reveal the structure of the behavioral variable; providing information about the relatively static behavioral summary variable, while suggesting information about future diffusion. 2. Background: innovativeness, adoption and diffusion of innovation Companies' success relies on their ability to provide innovative products and services that satisfy customer needs (Hauser, Tellis, and Griffin, 2006). Understanding consumer innovativeness is one of inno- vation research's essential components (Steenkamp, Hofstede, and Wedel, 1999). Consumer innovativeness is “the consumption of new- ness” (Roehrich, 2004, p. 671). The conceptualization embraces any idea, practice, or object that appears new to the consumer (Lockett and Littler, 1997). Although most consumer innovativeness research refers to product adoptions (Im, Mason, and Houston, 2007), service adoption receives some attention, often relating to online adoption http://crossmark.crossref.org/dialog/?doi=10.1016/j.jbusres.2015.11.006&domain=pdf http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2015.11.006 mailto:[email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2015.11.006 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/01482963 2712 A. Ganglmair-Wooliscroft, B. Wooliscroft / Journal of Business Research 69 (2016) 2711–2720 behavior, particularly financial service's online adoption (Lassar, Manolis, and Lassar, 2005). Consumer innovativeness takes a view of innovativeness as the general desire to “seek out the new and different” (Hirschman, 1980, p. 285) or focuses on behavior by exploring the “degree to which an individual is relatively earlier in adopting an innovation than other members of his system” (Rogers and Shoemaker, 1971, p. 27). A recent review categorizes studies on consumer innovativeness into three broad research approaches (Bartels and Reinders, 2011). Innate innovativeness refers to a general personality trait while domain-specific innovativeness (DSI) captures innovativeness within a product class, recognizing that involvement with product classes varies (Bartels and Reinders, 2011). Domain specific innovation (DSI) is a stronger predictor of behavioral innovativeness than innate innova- tiveness and is the most popular approach to measure the construct (Bartels and Reinders, 2011). Consumer innovation research's most direct form refers to the concept's behavioral manifestation; “actualized innovativeness” (Im, Bayus, and Mason, 2003, p. 62), which adheres to Rogers and Shoemaker's (1971) classic definition; adopting relatively earlier than other members of society. The behavior can refer to really-new product acceptance (Jansson, 2011), but in many cases the term refers to a change in consumption patterns by purchasing different products or brands (Roehrich, 2004) that consumers perceive as new. Actualized in- novativeness might manifest itself by simply switching from one brand to a different brand (Steenkamp et al., 1999;Wood and Swait, 2002), or by adopting a product that has become newly available in a geographic area (Goldsmith et al., 1998; Steenkamp et al., 1999). Studies exploring innovativeness' behavioral manifestation frequently apply ownership surveys using cross-sectional samples (Im et al., 2003). Researchers ask consumers to indicate on an existing list which items they currently use/own. Product ownership level comparison across the population is themost reliable approach when investigating consumer innovativeness (Im et al., 2007) and studies employ this approach in various contexts (Im et al. (2003). Innovativeness and Adoption of Innovation refer to a relatively static individual characteristic, while the Diffusion of Innovation Model takes a dynamic perspective and looks at an innovation's spread through a population. Diffusion of Innovation research, popular in marketing since the 1970s, explores how “an idea, practice, or object perceived

Annotated Bibliography
Executive summary
The annotated bibliography provides comprehensive discussion on ‘sustainable tourism development’ in light of different facets and places. The core definition and meaning of sustainable tourism is ‘meeting needs of present tourists while restoring future ones’. For this, tourist destinations need to be effectively managed on grounds of economic, environment and socio-cultural. Sustainable tourism development practices apply to all forms of tourism and types of destinations, including mass and niche
tourism segments. The selected contemporary articles discussed sustainable tourism development in different contexts and destinations. On reviewing findings of articles, it is found that sustainability helps in improving environmental, economic and socio-cultural aspects of tourism development. It is necessary to synchronise and establish perfect balance between all three dimensions for guaranteeing and ensuring long term sustainability of a tourist destination. The three core results derived from article review are tourist destination need to ensure optimal use of environmental resources, maintaining ecological processes, conserving natural heritage and biodiversity, secondly, socio-cultural authenticity of host communities should be preserved, lastly, economic operations need to provide socio-economic benefits to all stakeholders. In this regard, sustainable tourism development requires active involvement and participation of all stakeholders, as well as, informed leadership for consensus building.

Summary of article
United Nations initiative of sustainable production and consumption is the main discussion area of the article. The article states six focus areas of sustainable production and consumption among which sustainable tourism development is discussed in the article. This is done in lieu of the assumption that tourism industry is one of the essential economic sectors significantly contributing country’s GDP. In recent years, consumers are also depicting increasing level interest in ethical and sustainable consumption, they are becoming more salient towards ethical issues, accordingly undertake different behaviour in their daily lives. For measuring this ethical aspect, article developed and used hierarchy of ethical tourist behaviour for exploring innovativeness implemented in tourism sector for strengthening sustainability aspect.
Rationale for the research methods
Primary research method using questionnaire with the sample size of 322 respondents of New Zealand population is provided with the set of questions measuring ethical behaviour. This questionnaire forms the main part of the research method including several questions regarding ethical behaviours. Primary research method seems appropriate due to its feature of including several questions regarding ethical behaviour. Moreover, ethical behaviour is a variable concept which changes and takes different shape every day. Therefore, different sources such as specialist websites, magazines and popular media sources are used for developing questions regarding ethical tourist behaviour.
Major ideas about sustainable tourism development
Ethical behaviour, an essential component of sustainable tourism development is the main discussion area of the research study. The main idea of the study is based on tourism context arguing the fact that there is considerable difference in people’s everyday ethical behaviour and travel behaviour. In this context, ethical tourist behaviour questionnaire is developed for actualising and gaining practical insight regarding variable influencing tourist behaviour. In accordance to the environment deterioration, resource depletion and population growth, it seems highly necessary to infuse practice of ethical behaviour among tourists. The ethical behaviour among tourists here means with the acts and behaviour of tourists contributing to environment sustainability, careful and optimum use of resources in a manner restoring tourist destination for future generations.
Key findings and conclusions
The ethical tourist behaviour questionnaire provides information about ethical travel behaviour and everyday behaviour. There is significant difference in both behaviour contexts as people’s ethical travel behaviour is based on careful selection of holiday destination, choosing sustainable form of transport, employing locals, re-using water bottles, etc. On the other hand, everyday people behaviour is based on perceiving and implementing ‘green and clean’ environment concept based on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, volunteering or donating to local environment projects, and so on.
