“…Upon examination of part 2 in the literature review, numerous investigations have concurred with similar conclusions, as demonstrated by Aydin [41], Tinoco [54], Gyamerah and Gil-Alana [60], and Chirilus and Costea [59]. Notably, Fan et al [10] contributed to this discourse by illustrating the existence of an asymmetric relationship between variables.…”

“…The former underlines the impact of some socio-economic factors on carbon dioxide emissions; while the later highlights the causal links between these variables and our interest variable. Almost all of the empirical studies that have addressed this issue are based on an ARDL model, although a few studies have used a non-linear model [10][11][12].…”

Carbon dioxide emissions is one of the main climate change causes. Nowadays is considered as one of the most important environmental degradation and air pollution in the world. The relationship between CO2 emissions and their socio-economic determinants is investigated in this study. It uses empirical analysis of significant impact of the economic growth, the tourism development, the globalization, the population health, the population growth and the energy consumption on our interest variable. Thus, we're going to select an econometric model, an Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL) applied to a sample of 10 MENA countries. Our aim is to measure, long-run and short-run impact of the number of arrivals, the Foreign Direct Investment, government health expenditures, the energy consumption and the population growth rate on the CO2 emissions. All variables are observed from 1995 to 2020. The methodology adopted in this work is as followed: First, the statistical indicators for the sample are calculated. Secondly, the temporal series stationarity is checked by realizing tests of first and second generation. The Pedroni ARDL and Pesaran cointegration tests are then applied. Finally, Granger causality for panel data is used. The causality analysis between variables is carried out using the Dumitrescu and Hurlin's test. Findings reveal that, in the long term, tourism sector and energy consumption have significant and positive impact on CO2. But the economic growth and population growth influenced it negatively and they are statistically significant. In the short term, the dependent variable is statistically impacted by economic growth. The degrees and magnitude of the individual effects of the various variables on the Carbone dioxide emissions vary from country to an other. There are bidirectional and unidirectional relationships causality between different variables. Our findings can be helpful for policy makers seeking to achieve the sustainable development goals in MENA region.

“…This result is like Salehi‐Esfahani et al, 2021 who reveal that tourism industry increased health expenditure in Canada. Fan et al, 2021 also confirmed that CO2 emissions from tourism contribute to Mexico's high rate of health spending. The relationship between natural resource depletion and health indicators reveals that a 1% decline in natural capital increases health expenditure by 0.03%–0.12%.…”

Forest fires release harmful pollutants, endangering public health and incurring substantial healthcare costs. This study empirically investigates the environment‐health‐economy relationship, utilizing a robust MM‐QR approach. Findings divulge that economic growth, urbanization, and tourism drive healthcare expenditure, while environmental factors like forest fires, resource depletion, species extinction, and environmental policy stringency also increase health spending. Conversely, renewable energy consumption lowers healthcare costs, while coal extraction raises them. Empirical estimates reveal that increase in forest fires raises health spending by , socioeconomic indicators by , and environmental factors by . Conversely, a rise in renewable energy usage cuts healthcare expenses by . This study underscores the urgency of addressing environmental degradation, especially forest fires, to mitigate their impacts on human well‐being.

“…Studies related to the area of tourism have been increasing in recent years in Mexico, with topics as diverse as the effects of COVID-19 [28]; the effects on the informal economy [29]; tourism of the elderly [30]; the link between tourism, pollution and health [31]; and the factors that affect its demand [32]. Unfortunately there are problems and challenges in determining the tourist demand in Mexico [33], since the tourism statistics that are officially disseminated in Mexico do not have the objectivity or veracity that characterizes knowledge, mainly due to a series of errors, omissions, inconsistencies and even method-ological manipulations revealed by the information capture and processing mechanisms.…”

With the growing interest in cycle tourism in Mexico, it is necessary to understand the motives for traveling and cycling. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the bicycle tourism motivation instrument (Cycle-tourist Motivation Instrument (CtMI)) for Mexico. The instrument was applied to 322 cycle tourists who participated, directly or indirectly, in the 2021 Chichimeca route, a cycle tourism event. Atypical data were removed, Cronbach’s alpha of the CtMi was 0.920, the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) test gave 0.911 as a result, and Barlett’s sphericity test was equal to 0.000; in addition, factor analysis with varimax rotation was performed with factor loadings greater than 0.40, resulting in an instrument with validity and explanatory capacity for the phenomenon of cyclist motivation with 32 items divided into 7 dimensions: health, social, competence domain, exploration, stimulus-seeking, self-presentation and escape, with values equal to and/or higher than those reported in the literature. The CtMI can contribute to future research related to this topic, which will allow us to understand and determine the motivations of the cycle tourist in Mexico. Likewise, this study demonstrates the need for further research to validate the CtMI in other contexts, within Mexico and abroad.
