Can cultural values influence green choices in hospitality? Absolutely.   In the November JVM Tourism Marketing Insights episode, we dive into how cultural values like collectivism - where people prioritise group well-being - and long-term orientation - the focus on future rewards - shape green purchasing decisions in hospitality.
