The study adapts a “slow destination image” scale and proposes that online value co-creation can be a valid strategy in the quest to encourage pro-environmental behaviors among visitors. A quantitative empirical study is conducted on a sample of Spanish domestic tourists (n = 681) and a covariance-based structural equation modeling analysis is performed. The findings of the study add value to the literature, providing empirical evidence that a “slow destination” image has a positive effect on tourist proenvironmental behavior and that online value co-creation has a positive and significant effect on “slow destination” image and tourist pro-environmental behavior. The study will also be of practical use to destination/ tourism agents, both public and private, by indicating how to develop a type of tourism—slow tourism—and a marketing strategy online value co-creation—that are useful for building sustainability and applicable to any tourist destination.}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía}, organization = {Universidad de Granada / CBUA}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Slow tourism}, keywords = {“Slow destination” image}, keywords = {Pro-environmental behavior}, keywords = {Value co-creation}, keywords = {Sustainability}, keywords = {Online media}, title = {Can co-creating a “slow destination” image boost sustainability?}, doi = {10.1016/j.jdmm.2024.100898}, author = {Frías Jamilena, Dolores María and Polo Peña, Ana Isabel and Peco Torres, Francisco and Sabiote Ortiz, Carmen María}, }
