“…Greenhouse gas emissions and the emissions of CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide are significantly and positively associated with economic growth. The literature moreover appears that, within the long run, economic growth will lead to an increment within the CO2 emissions that contaminate the environment (Balli 2021). It appears that the influence of industrialization (measured in terms of manufacturing and industry) on environmental indicators is predominantly positive and significant.…”

Environmental degradation has been the main distress in recent years due to the drastic effect of climate change. To determine the gone thorough impact of industrialization and foreign direct investment on environmental degradation, this study utilized panel data of 55 countries of the Asia-Pacific region from 1995 to 2020 and it applies an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The results showed that FDI, in general, has a significant negative impact on the environment and causes to increase in methane and CO2 emissions. Moreover, industrialization has a positive and significant impact on the environment. However, the size of the impact is moderate. This study also concludes that in the Asia-Pacific region, the environment Kuznets curve (EKC) and pollution heaven (PH) hypothesis are accepted. Finally, this study suggests the strict implication of environmental guidelines or the adoption of a new policy would be the key to ensuring the quality of the environment. Furthermore, the results confirmed that most of the panel countries are developing countries and do not have strict environmental management guidelines.

“…In India, Villanthenkodath et al (2022) apply the ARDL estimation technique to quarterly data between 1995 and 2018 to show that tourism development correlates with environmental sustainability. Balli (2021) examines the impact of tourism on environmental degradation in 32 OECD nations. By applying panel data estimation, the study reveals that there is a causal relationship between tourism and CO 2 emission.…”

Analysis of tourism and sustainable development in MENA economies

The existing studies suggest that the tourism sector may fast track the achievement of sustainable development due to its ability to guarantee the renewability of natural resources and the preservation of the ecosystem. Scholars also opine that tourist activities involve transportation that utilizes fossil fuels and non‐renewable energy sources. This implies that tourism may contribute to environmental degradation and slow down the achievement of the sustainable development agenda. In this paper, we contribute to this debate by examining the dynamic relationship between tourism and sustainable development in the case of the MENA region. Employing panel vector autoregressive based on the generalized method of moments framework (GMM‐PVAR) on data spanning from 1995 to 2019, we document that there is a positive and dynamic relationship between tourism and sustainable development in the MENA region. Further analysis shows that there is a bi‐causal relationship between the two variables; implying that they have a powerful prediction content of each other. The study recommends that effort should be made to develop pertinent policies to promote ecotourism in the region.
