AB  - Previous research on the environmentally responsible behaviour (ERB) of tourists 
      has primarily focused on the personal psychological factors of tourists. However, 
      the studies overlook the effect of contextual factors of a tourist site. 
      According to the broken window theory, a disorderly, unkempt environment might 
      lead more people to be involved in environmental destruction, which would form a 
      vicious cycle. Therefore, it can be deduced that the environmental background 
      (EB) of a tourist site is an important contextual factor. In this paper, the 
      effect of the EB of a tourist site on the ERB was examined by the theory of 
      planned behaviour (TPB) adopting structural equation model (SEM) multi-group 
      analysis (MGA). The results show the following: first, both the attitude toward 
      environmental behaviour (ATT) of tourists and their subjective norm (SN) have a 
      positive impact on the environmentally responsible behavioural intention (ERBI) 
      of tourists. In addition, perceived behavioural control (PBC) exerts a remarkable 
      influence on the ERB of tourists and their behavioural intention. Second, the 
      relationship between the ERBI and ERB of tourists is positively regulated by the 
      EB of a tourist site. Additionally, this paper presents policy proposals for the 
      environmental management of tourist sites.
