“…Hence, the influx of tourists exacerbates the consumption of NRE which deteriorates the environment by increasing the ecological footprint. This finding complements those of Koçak et al ( 2020 ), Dogan et al ( 2017 ), Paramati et al ( 2017 ), Akadiri et al ( 2020 ), Shakouri et al ( 2017 ), and Paramati et al ( 2018 ) for ten most visited countries, OECD, Eastern and Western EU countries, 16 countries, Asia-Pacific countries, and in the EU countries, respectively. The influence of energy consumption (NRE) on the environment is similar to that of tourists’ arrivals but larger in magnitude.…”

“…Likewise, Gössling et al ( 2015 ) show that of recent, an increase in air travel has somewhat increased the contribution of the aviation sector to increasing global CO 2 emissions. Koçak et al ( 2020 ) provide evidence that tourism arrivals have an increasing effect on CO 2 emissions while tourism receipts have a reducing effect on CO 2 emissions and that a possible co-movement and causal relationship exist between tourist activities and CO 2 emissions in the long run. Another channel by which tourism contributes to environmental degradation is through changes in land-use as a result of tourism investments.…”

Global warming has been a pressing issue for the past decade as various economic activities have been flagged and are expected to reduce emissions. While previous studies have examined the energy consumption-emissions-economic growth nexus in significant detail, attention is yet to be given to the role of economic policy uncertainties and human activities such as tourism in a carbon function. Thus, this study aims to investigate the long-run relationship between energy consumption, tourists’ arrivals, economic policy uncertainty, and ecological footprint in the top ten earners from international tourism over the period 1995 to 2015. The fully modified ordinary least square and dynamic ordinary least square estimation techniques and the Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality tests were used in the study. Empirical results suggest that economic policy uncertainties in addition to tourism and energy consumption are drivers of environmental degradation. However, the contribution of energy consumption to ecological footprint is significantly moderated by economic policy uncertainties such that a 1% increase in the latter reduces environmental damage by 0.71%. This study suggests that policy uncertainties matter a great deal for energy and environmental policies. Also, green economic growth is possible if the proper implementation of environmental protection policies can restrict the harmful impact of economic activities on the quality of the environment. Based on the empirical findings, vital energy policy recommendations are suggested.

Highlights Air transport increases economic Growth, validating the TLGH in the US between 1981 and 2017. The connection between foreign direct investment and ICTs enhances economic growth in the US. Coal rents and ICTs promote economic growth ins US. Energy-led growth hypothesis affirmed as coal energy spurs economic growth.

“…Tourism is an extremely climatesensitive sector, like transportation, agriculture or energy (Willbanks et al 2007, Liu et al 2011. Although numerous theoretical academic studies suggest that tourism increases energy consumption and damages the environment (Katircioglu 2014, only a few examine the influence of tourism on environmental degradation (Lee and Brahmasrene 2013, Solarin 2014, Dogan and Aslan 2017, Paramati et al 2017a, Gao et al 2019, Mishra et al 2019, Koçak et al 2020. The tourism sector includes connection with other sectors with considerable polluting potential.…”

This paper focuses on long-term evidence on economic growth, international tourism, globalization, energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions in OECD countries for the period of 1994-2014. The empirical analysis reveals that climate change is magnified by energy use, tourism and economic growth. An inverted U-shaped relationship is also found between international tourism and CO 2 emissions. The contribution of international tourism to climate change in the early stages of development is thus diminished by globalization in the later stages. In other words, globalization appears to reduce carbon emissions from international tourism. The empirical results provide additional arguments for shaping regulatory frameworks aimed at reversing the current energy mix in OECD countries by facilitating energy efficiency and promoting renewable sources.
