Adopting a quantitative approach, data were collected through structured questionnaire from 330 (born between 1997 and 2012) who visited four villages (Qale Bala, Mesr, Abyaneh, Rezaabad) April July 2023. Using systematic sampling, every fifth tourist was selected. Data analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results show that concerns, situational responsibility, personal norms positively impact behaviors, while denial responsibility negatively affects them. Personal pride guilt emotions, which turn promote behaviors. The extended model, incorporating demonstrated improved explanatory power over original NAT. research contributes to sustainable tourism literature integrating moral emotions into NAT framework, offering insights psychological mechanisms driving pro-environmental environments.
