Abstract
More than twenty years ago, Dunlap and Van Liere (1978) developed the 'New Environmental Paradigm' scale (NEP) from the existent 'Dominant Social Paradigm' (DSP). Changes in values and beliefs concerning environmental issues made it necessary to further develop the DSP and include ideas, such as 'limits to growth', a 'steady-state economy', and 'a balance of nature'. The NEP has been adapted for a variety of further research, but only recently within a tourism context. This paper aims to compare a number of studies using the NEP and identify possible developments and changes in peoples' values. It finally addresses the question of whether or not the NEP is applicable in a tourism context.
