Thanks so much for the opportunity and good luck to the author/s. So, in my opinion the paper is interesting, even if not original at all. The analysis should have to be compared to those of many other countries. Yet it can be a good reference point for similar studies to be conducted in other countries. A more adequate introduction and literature review could justify the research. Introduction presents properly the aim of the study, yet the research questions to be addressed are not clearly exposed and, above all, justified by the literature. As a matter of fact, the author/s must include accurate and recent references to support the hypotheses and the study. So, strongly I suggest to consider a more recent and innovative papers on the topic and important in the international context. Research design and methodology could be appropriate, yet different analyses have been conducted which enrich the empirical analysis (so again, the authors must consider further literature, like to consider in the text at least Doi 10.3390/SU12124851 and to read its literature): I recommend the author/s to better specify the goodness of the specific quantitative method to support the conceptual model. And moreover, why is the used methodology better than other important ones? And besides, are the author/s sure that the sample is representative of the population? Especially interesting is the analyses conducted, but I can say also the results could be more appropriate and clear; moreover, discussion section is relevant and conclusions must resume properly the topic address and the implications for several players. So, really what does the paper add to previous researches? The quality of communication is good and clear enough.
