The energy requirements and carbon dioxide emissions of tourism industry of Western China: A case of Chengdu city

Change in energy-related CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions in Portuguese tourism: a decomposition analysis from 2000 to 2008

“…This confirms the results of Liu et al (2011) and means that the activity of the tourism sector as a whole is the main determinant of emissions in each subsector. This can be explained by the structure of the Portuguese business in the tourism sector, consisting of small businesses.…”

“…Robaina-Alves and Moutinho (2013) used the decomposition technique to examine CO2 emissions intensity and its components, for 36 economic sectors in Portugal, and also included forecast error variance decomposition and impulse response functions, applied to factors in which emissions intensity was decomposed. On studies that apply specifically to tourism activities one can point the work of Liu et al (2011) who apply decomposition analysis in China. They found that energy intensity, expenditure size and the industry size are the most important drivers of emissions growth in tourism, however, two other factors (energy share and consumption structure), were not found to have a substantial influence on the growth of tourism industry emissions.…”

“…Ang (2004) makes a global comparison of different methodologies of decomposition analysis and recommends the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) as it is theoretically well grounded, easy to adapt, to use and to interpret their results. Beyond the referred study of Liu et al (2011) there is scarcity of literature about LMDI applied internationally or to Portugal specifically on the tourism sector and subsectors.…”

Analyzing the Tourism–Energy–Growth Nexus for the Top 10 Most-Visited Countries

“…There are some earlier studies on energy consumption, the tourism sector and economic growth (Oh et al 2010;Akbostancı et al 2011;Liu et al 2011;O'Mahony et al 2012;Pardo et al 2012;Pace 2015;Moutinho et al 2015;Isik et al, 2017bIsik et al, , 2017a. We also discovered different works in the tourism literature that have examined the energy and CO 2 emissions (Liu et al 2011;Scott 2011;Wu and Shi 2011;Lee and Brahmasrene 2013;Lee and Kwag 2013;Katircioglu et al 2014).…”

Implementation Strategies of Low-Carbon Tourism

“…The "carbon" here means green house gases, carbon dioxide mainly. In other words, it should be green travel [5][6][7][8], with light energy consumption, little pollution, and few carbon dioxide emissions. Low-carbon tourism is designed with low-carbon itineraries, equipped with eco-friendly outfit, and required low transport emissions.…”
