“…The second type of studies goes further, estimating econometric functions in which emissions and/or energy and tourism variables enter the econometric function in different ways. Often, the function's dependent variable is the level of CO 2 emissions, while tourism and production are included among the independent variables, as for example in Lee and Brahmasrene (2013), or the recent studies by Juwita et al (2021), Yassin et al (2021), Wangzhou et al (2022), andRazzaq et al (2023). Therefore, the main objective of this line research is to analyze the link between tourism and emissions, using econometric functions that recognize the role of economic growth as a driver of these emissions.…”

Tourist activity has strategic importance in the global economy. Nevertheless, the tourism activities are linked to increased emissions, due to the sector’s energy intensity, especially in the transport and commercial sectors. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between final energy consumption in the whole economy, the transport, commercial and public services sectors, and the tourist activity in the 15 countries with the highest number of international tourist arrivals in the world, in 2000–2019 period. The Energy–Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis extended with tourism has been tested. Obtained results show non-linear relationships between energy consumption and production levels. There is evidence in favor of the energy EKC hypothesis, and in favor of an inverted N-shaped relationship for transport and commercial and public services sectors. The results also show a positive, increasing relationship between energy consumption and tourist arrivals for the whole economy. However, there is some evidence of the tourism energy EKC hypothesis when considering the transport, commercial and public services sectors. Therefore, economies of scale are observed in these sectors. Accordingly, it is highly advisable to increase the economies of scale, coupled with a greater awareness on the use of renewable energy. Negative relationships are found between energy consumption and tourism receipts. Therefore, it is advisable to establish policies that encourage high quality tourism to control the economy’s energy consumption.

“…Tovar-Sánchez, Sánchez-Quiles, and Rodríguez-Romero (2019) highlighted that the environmental risk of chemical damage in the Mediterranean Sea is likely to be exacerbated due to the massive influx of tourists and its densely populated coasts, as well as the basin's limited exchanges with the ocean, the high residence time of surface waters, and its oligotrophic waters. The result obtained by Yassin, Aralas, and Basa (2020) implied that an increase in the tourism density index impacts the environmental performance index in 10 ASEAN countries. Hoppstadius and Sandell (2018) notice that studying concrete examples of situated cases of sustainable development efforts in terms of biosphere reserves can contribute greatly to the ongoing discussion about which development approaches in tourism are seen as sustainable.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between tourism arrivals and the global incidence of biodiversity loss, measured by the probability of the extinction of species of plants, mammals, birds, and fish while controlling for other relevant covariates: protected areas, agrarian production's share in GDP, crop production, energy intensity, and population levels. This study is designed around cross-sectional data from 2018 in 178 countries across the world. The biodiversity loss–tourism arrivals nexus is assessed in this study by the count model estimation. We adopted negative binomial and hurdle negative binomial regressions. The findings showed the existence of a positive relationship between tourism arrivals and some species extinction variables. Tourism demand is responsible for an excessive degree of biodiversity loss in the case of mammals and birds. The findings of this study suggest that an overdispersion test due to count data constraints should be taken into account when examining the link between biodiversity loss and tourism in a cross-sectional analysis.

“…According to the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) [ 36 ], most Persian Gulf economies have more work to do to meet their environmental policy objectives. Because EPI’s latest index shows that UAE is 39, Kuwait is at 87, Bahrain is at 90, Saudi Arabia is 109, Qatar at 137, Oman at 149, and Iraq at 169th [ 37 , 38 ].…”

In this digital age, promoting economic development through technology innovation and adoption has become a pressing matter, contributing to increased productivity and, in turn, carbon emissions. Consequently, this study employs a novel technique (Newey–West Standard Error Method, Technology Adaptation Model) to quantify information and communication technology (ICT) adoption rates as a proxy indicator for evaluating the Persian Gulf economy’s technology development. Moreover, this study investigates the evidence of the environmental Kuznets curve, with trade openness, technological adoption, and innovation as sustainable development controls. The findings reveal that two of three technological innovation instruments, fixed telephone, and internet subscriptions, increase carbon emissions. In contrast, mobile cellular subscriptions simultaneously reduce carbon emissions in the Persian Gulf. Furthermore, measures of technology adoption, high-technology exports, and electricity use contribute to the increase in carbon emissions. Trade openness also raises carbon emissions in the Persian Gulf. These findings suggest that policymakers must develop technological innovation and adoption strategies that effectively promote a greener environment.
