“…Compared to previous studies, such as those of Xiong et al [57], Sun [58], and Lenzen et al [59], the effects of the food and beverage and shopping sectors were significant, showing high similarity in context. On the other hand, there is some divergence from studies by Chen et al [56] and Tang et al [61], which identified accommodation and recreation as the most significant contributing factors. The results from different studies can vary based on the tourism destinations, input variables, estimation models, points of analysis, and data used.…”

“…According to the results, the carbon intensity factors, which include transportation, accommodation, tourism activities, food and beverage, and shopping, highlighted the significant contribution of indirect GHG emissions to the total carbon footprint of holiday packages. Chen et al [56] undertook a detailed examination of the trends and influential factors regarding tourism carbon footprints. Their findings underscored significant contributions to carbon footprints from accommodation and transportation.…”

“…Empirical evidence from prior research indicates that carbon emissions are expected to be positively influenced by tourism activities [14][15][16][17][18], such as shopping [51][52][53], accommodation [54][55][56], food and beverage [57][58][59], and recreation [60][61][62]. It has also been proposed that the ESG administrative framework could intervene in the relationship between tourism activities and carbon emissions, suggesting that the greater the ESG administrative power of local governments, the more effectively carbon emissions induced by tourism activities will be mitigated [42,43,[68][69][70][71][72].…”

This study examines the impact of tourism activities (TA) on carbon emissions (CE) in South Korea and investigates how ESG (environmental, social, and governance) administration power moderates these relationships. To explore four research areas—the relationship between TA and CE; variations across three years (2019–2021); the moderating effect of ESG policies; and the influence of control variables—MIMIC models were employed using secondary data from credible national institutions. The main results across the years and ESG groups (high vs. low) are as follows: (1) The positive influence of individual TA on CE ranked as food and beverage > shopping > recreation > accommodation, with no differences across the years or ESG groups. (2) ESG administration alleviated the carbon-emitting effects of TA, with significant moderation in 2019 and 2021, but not in 2020 (particularly, the effect sizes of TA were greater in low ESG groups). (3) Although tourism development stimulates TA more strongly in the high ESG groups, the CE induced by TA is significantly mitigated by ESG administrative support, resulting in smaller effects than those observed in the low groups. (4) The latter part covers diverse discussions on the influence of control variables—such as infection safety, atmospheric pollution, tourism development, income levels, green space, and local population.

“…The tourism industry is a notable contributor to global carbon emissions [1,2], accounting for approximately 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions [2,3]. These emissions arise from various sources within the tourism system, including transport, accommodation, and other activities [4][5][6]. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), transport plays a critical role in the tourism sector, being responsible for 75% of its carbon dioxide emissions [7].…”

This study explores the intricate dynamics of CO2 emissions stemming from transport within the tourism sector. It aims to unravel the multidimensional aspects of how transport-related tourism contributes to CO2 emissions and to elucidate the complex relationship between regional economic growth and CO2 emissions from transport-related tourism. Our study employed Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) and Panel Vector Autoregression (PVAR) models to analyze data from 30 Chinese provincial regions between 2010 and 2018. The tourism transport-related CO2 emissions were decomposed into four separate driving effects using the LMDI approach. Then, PVAR models were constructed to reveal dynamic interactions between each driving effect and per capita gross regional product (GRP). Our results demonstrate a decrease in both energy structure effect (tourism transport-related CO2 emissions from energy structure) and energy intensity effect (tourism transport-related CO2 emissions from energy intensity) during the pre-COVID decade. Notably, the positive impulse response of energy structure effect to per capita GRP is observed. However, we found no evidence of a cointegrated relationship between energy intensity effect and regional economic growth, although other factors demonstrated connections. These findings echo the necessity to integrate sustainable practices into the tourism transportation business, especially in the area of energy structure, in order to mitigate adverse environmental effects from tourism. This paper disseminates the main drivers of CO2 emissions in the tourism transport sector and their interrelationship with regional economic growth. It not only guides tourism policymakers in targeting efforts to reduce carbon footprints, but also sets a new benchmark for future studies on CO2 emissions.
