Abstract:
This study expands the scope of research on consumer decision-making mechanisms within the context of sustainable events. The objective is to examine the effects of green hotel brand image and green venue certification on consumers intention to attend green hotel events, with perceived green event value serving as a mediating variable. Data were collected from 332 respondents who had previously attended events in Thailand through an online questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results revealed that both green hotel brand image and green venue certification exerted significant positive effects on intention to attend green hotel events. Moreover, perceived green event value played a partial mediating role in these relationships. These findings highlight the psychological mechanism through which consumers evaluate value and make participation decisions in green venues. The study contributes to the advancement of knowledge in sustainable event management by proposing a model that explains motivational factors and consumer value perception in the context of green venues. Practically, the findings provide insights for hotel operators and event organizers to develop effective green event strategies that enhance participation intention and foster the growth of the event industry toward long-term sustainability.
