Over time, there have been substantial changes in consumer behaviour. Earlier, consumers used to be willing to pay more for a product they wanted from a reputable company. Today, nevertheless, they are price sensitive due to the unsteady economy and rising inflation. According to reports, approximately 2–18 percent of consumers worldwide are now price-conscious. In contrast to other nations, India has a higher share of this market. The self-declared value consciousness of Indian consumers and their actual purchasing behaviour, which involves purchasing less expensive goods, are directly related. Still product quality is a crucial factor for customers during this process. 

Even the concept of quality has evolved over time. Some consumers associate high-quality goods with luxury, while others associate them with dependability, effectiveness, simplicity of use, or even good value. Today, when sustainability is the hottest trend, some customers associate high quality with eco-friendly goods.

Quality or price for sustainable products?

The quality against-price trade-off always enters the picture when it comes to sustainable products. It can be difficult for certain companies that sell sustainable solutions to keep their word about producing high-quality, long-lasting goods. They eventually have to raise the price to comply with market standards and non-sustainable variant features. This change then has a variety of effects. On the one hand, this encourages consumers to select less expensive, non-sustainable alternatives. On the other hand, this is also what motivates brands to develop high-end products that are practical, environmentally friendly, and even cost-effective so that customers' needs are met and they are not forced to make quality compromises.

Sustainability in the travel industry

According to industry figures, the travel and tourism sector is responsible for 8 percent of the world's emissions. This is why the industry should work to change its operations to be more environmentally friendly. The only practical response to the expected rise in environmental damage caused by the expanding travel industry and rising tourist numbers is to choose sustainability. Realizing the gravity of the situation, many industry participants have already begun adopting a sustainable strategy and providing eco-friendly alternatives.

Sustainability in the travel sector includes both operations and processes as well as products. Greener shipping techniques and lodging powered by geothermal energy are also included. The newest trend in travel is sustainable, and backpacks, trolley bags, and standard luggage are being replaced by eco-friendly travel accessories. They have a warranty, are reasonably priced, sustainable, and guarantee the greatest level of quality for customers. The concept behind these items is straightforward: fuel burns more slowly the less weight you carry. As a result, carbon footprints will be rapidly reduced.

Transitioning towards sustainability is the solution to a cleaner and greener world

Environmental protection and global warming have gained attention since the outbreak. Even customers now understand how crucial sustainability is and how beneficial it is for the planet. They still let environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations influence how they shop. Since then, customers have been attempting to make thoughtful and ethical decisions. In the competition to produce high-quality goods at competitive prices, the sustainable strategy is not far behind. However, it is the industry's actors who must satisfy consumer desires. For this reason, not only the personal care, kitchen, and skin care industries, but also the travel sector, offer affordable, environmentally friendly goods so that our future will be cleaner and greener.
