Tourism, the environment, and energy policies

Tourism, the environment, and energy policies This article examines the impact of tourism development on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries by particularly exploring the role of energy markets in the environment–tourism relation. We find that tourism growth raises more CO2 emissions in the future, and that greater CO2 emissions return a lagged and negative impact on tourism development. Our empirical results suggest that an improvement in energy efficiency simultaneously benefits the sustainability of both tourism development and the environment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Tourism Economics SAGE

Abstract

This article examines the impact of tourism development on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries by particularly exploring the role of energy markets in the environment–tourism relation. We find that tourism growth raises more CO2 emissions in the future, and that greater CO2 emissions return a lagged and negative impact on tourism development. Our empirical results suggest that an improvement in energy efficiency simultaneously benefits the sustainability of both tourism development and the environment.
