“…Finally, climate indicators play an important role in residential demand for energy consumption (Chen, Ban-Weiss, & Sanders, 2018;Pablo-Romero, Pozo-Barajas, & Sánchez-Rivas, 2019). As already supported by existing literature, countries with warm weather require energy for air conditioning and countries with cooler weather consume energy for heating purposes (Kaivo-oja, Vehmas, & Luukkanen, 2016;Randazzo, De Cian, & Mistry, 2020;Yalcintas & Kaya, 2017).…”

This article discusses the residential electricity (RE) demand in Tunisia as a function of household disposable real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the price of electricity (PE) and the degree of urbanization (U) spanning the period 1980–2018. To do that, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound model and Granger causality test are employed to examine the influencing factors of the changes in RE demand, and to discuss the directions of short and long‐run causalities among the variables. The empirical result shows that all variables are integrated of order one, I (1). The Fisher statistics of the Wald test confirms that variables are cointegrated. Long‐run elasticities suggest that, in the long‐run, electricity price and urbanization have a significant and positive impact on RE demand, while real GDP contributes insignificantly to the decrease of RE demand in Tunisia. Granger causality empirics suggests that in short run, there is bidirectional causality between RE demand and electricity price, and between RE demand and urbanization, and a unidirectional causality from real GDP and urbanization to electricity price, and from real GDP to urbanization.

“…Empirical studies in the literature mainly focus on the economic growth effects of tourism in general terms (Aslan, 2014(Aslan, , 2016Bilen et al, 2017;Brida et al, 2015;Gricar et al, 2021;Habibi et al, 2018;Haller et al, 2021;Kim et al, 2006;Seetanah, 2011). In addition to these, tourism, energy and carbon emissions link has also been the subject of various studies (Adedoyin et al, 2021;Ahmad et al, 2018;Azam et al, 2018;Chishti et al, 2020;Is ¸ı k et al, 2017;Jebli et al, 2014;Pablo-Romero et al, 2019;Sharif et al, 2017Sharif et al, , 2020aSharif et al, , 2020bTang & Abosedra, 2014;Tiwari et al, 2013;Xiangyu et al, 2021). However, the current empirical literature, based on the effects of pilgrimage activities for Saudi Arabia, is lacking.…”

Every year millions of Muslims go to Saudi Arabia to fulfil pilgrimage worship, thus Saudi Arabia is such a religious centre brings with it various consequences. In this context, this paper investigates the nexus between CO2 emissions, economic growth, energy consumption and pilgrimage tourism in Saudi Arabia for the period of 1968-2017. The dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) and fully-modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) methods are employed in this study. FMOLS results prove that energy consumption, number of pilgrims and oil prices have a positive effect on CO2 emissions and GDP has a negative effect on it, while DOLS results imply that only energy consumption has a positive effect on carbon emissions. In addition, there is unidirectional causality from CO2 to pilgrimage tourism and from pilgrimage tourism to oil, and there is bidirectional causality between pilgrimage tourism and GDP. Therefore, the environmental cost of pilgrimage tourism is inevitable. Reflections of pilgrimage visits to Saudi Arabia as a belief tourism are dealt with for the first time in this paper. In addition, our more specific purpose is to determine the environmental impacts of Muslims performing the pilgrimage, during their religious worship.

“…This theory proposes that environmental degradation measured by CO 2 emissions is a function of economic growth, reaching a turning point where growth becomes sustainable and impacts negatively on environmental degradation (Anser et al, 2020;Arbulú et al, 2015;Fethi & Senyucel, 2020;Gao et al, 2021;Mikayilov et al, 2019;Ozturk et al, 2016;Porto & Ciaschi, 2020). Second, studies focused on analysing the link between tourism development and environmental degradation are presented (Alizadeh, 2020;Anser et al, 2020;de Vita et al, 2015;Pablo-Romero et al, 2019;Zaman et al, 2016). Fethi and Senyucel (2020) examined the top 50 tourist destinations between 1996 and 2017 in order to find evidence to support or not support the EKC hypothesis in the context of tourism development.…”

Evaluation of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis in a tourism development context: evidence for 15 Latin American countries

The tourism sector is growing rapidly, and this has greatly stimulated economic growth around the world; however, the environmental degradation that this implies cannot be ignored. In order to achieve sustainable tourism, it is important to study the link between tourism and environmental quality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between tourism and CO2 emissions from 1995 to 2018 in a sample of 20 Latin American countries. Econometric techniques of cointegration and causality were used to evaluate the relationship between these variables. To test the consistency of cointegration vectors, the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOSL) model was applied for individual countries and the panel dynamic ordinary least squares (PDOLS) model for groups of countries. The results show that tourism revenues have a negative effect on the global panel and upper‐middle‐income countries (UMICs). This result is statistically significant. However, as tourism revenues increase, they start to have a positive and significant effect on CO2 emissions per capita, globally and in UMICs. These results, which are contrary to the theory, form a U shape, which does not support the ecological Kuznets curve.
