This study investigates air travelers’motivations and barriers regarding voluntary carbon offset programs and identifies effective incentives to bolster participation. A stated preference experiment was conducted with 380 respondents possessing flight experience. Results indicate that while most participants demonstrate awareness of sustainability and low-carbon concepts, their specific knowledge of offset programs remains limited. Logit model analysis reveals that carbon offset ratios, green certification for airlines, mileage rewards, and additional services positively influence participation intent. Latent class analysis categorizes respondents into three distinct groups: value-oriented (55.3%), eco-conscious (38.4%), and conservative (6.3%). Value-oriented travelers require tangible benefits to participate, whereas eco-conscious travelers show strong intrinsic support. The study suggests that airlines should enhance communication and integrate multiple incentives while avoiding potential greenwashing concerns to increase the appeal and participation intent of voluntary carbon offset programs. |
