Abstract

Many corporate responsibility programs in tourist businesses require the support and/or compliance of the guests or customers, yet little attention has been paid to the design of strategies to encourage this compliance. Research and theoretical frameworks from the areas of tourist interpretation, social marketing and sustainability marketing have all addressed aspects of this issue across a range of different situations. A review of these areas is used to generate principles for the design and implementation of effective strategies to support customer compliance with CR strategies in tourism businesses. These principles are demonstrated through two contrasting scenarios and the paper concludes with suggestions about the extension of CR strategies beyond the immediate confines and concerns of the individual tourism business.
