Abstract: The study aims to examine undergraduate hospitality and tourism students’ intentions toward environmental sustainability and to compare factors (knowledge, attitudes, perceived behavioural control, and intentions) towards environmental sustainability among students in China and Thailand. A self-administered attitude questionnaire was used as the empirical data source (n = 785). The results of the study revealed that the factors of nationality, as well as year of study had a statistically significant relevance towards the students’ intentions, wherein academic performance was not a significant factor. The findings are helpful for practitioners and educators alike. Moreover, the paper concludes with recommendations to provide institutions with guidance on how to tackle the outlined issues.
