Abstract: Research on sustainability in the tourism sector has been focused in recent years on large accommodation companies. Although diverse studies analyse the impact of sustainability in large tour-operators, this topic has not been sufficiently analysed in the case of small and medium-sized agencies, which are an important part of this sector's structure. Through a sample of nearly 120 companies, this study demonstrates the importance of economic motivations but also personal and legitimizing drivers to conform three different intermediaries' profiles whose sustainable behaviour differs.
