As a result, environmental messages and claims have been widely used to produce positive product and corporate images. We investigated the use of web-based objective and subjective environmental statements and promotional claims by means of reviewing the websites of 153 golf resorts worldwide. The results indicate that a variety of environmental statements and/or promotional claims have been used by 71 golf resorts. Ad hoc comparisons based on how such statements and claims are used reveal significant effects on perceptions. Resorts with objective statements or claims seem to enjoy more favorable perceptions than resorts with only subjective statements or claims. Important implications for management and future research directions are provided.

It contributes to the literature on international higher education by proposing an expanded framework of the relationship between students' lived experiences and wellbeing. The findings make an essential contribution to students' wellbeing in international higher education by generating a thematic framework that describes how positive and negative experiences enhance international exchange students' wellbeing. The negative and positive experiences in the framework comprise five sub-themes: "Psychological adjustment", "Local differences", "Being with nature", "Interpersonal relationships", and "Experiencing new". Findings from the research highlight that university policymakers and managers of international student support services should conceive an exchange program as a psychological process to enhance international exchange students' wellbeing, rather than a strictly functional process to achieve educational outcomes.
