“…Munday et al (2013) provide a compelling argument in favour of 'consumption-based accounting 1 ' methods such as EEIO to concurrently estimate the environmental and economic impacts of tourism consumption. Several tourism studies have successfully used variants of EEIO to estimate environmental-economic impacts of tourism consumption in different settings (Cazcarro et al, 2014;Jones & Munday, 2007;Lundie et al, 2007;Munday et al, 2013;Sun & Pratt, 2014;Sun, 2014). Lundie et al (2007), Cazcarro et al (2014), and Sun & Pratt (2014) are, to our knowledge, the only previous tourism-related studies which explicitly quantify total water use with EEIO frameworks.…”

“…By contrast, the production accounting principle (PAP) attributes all resource use or emissions to the producing region. According to Munday et al (2013) and Sun (2014), the ideal accounting principle for capturing all carbon emissions associated with aviation lies in between the PAP and the CAP. This argument does not apply to water accounting where CAP is the appropriate accounting principle (as seen in Cazcarro et al, 2014).…”

“…The use of slightly dated economic data is common in tourism EEIO studies as these require several matching datasets rarely produced on an annual basis (see, for example, Munday et al, 2013 andSun &Pratt., 2014). Total gross value added (GVA in USD).…”

Tourism products vary in their direct and indirect (supply chain) water use, as well as their economic contribution. Hence, water-scarce destinations require a method to estimate and compare water use intensity (water use in relation to economic output) for different kinds of tourist products in order to optimise their tourism offering. The present study develops an original framework that integrates segmentation with an Environmentally Extended InputOutput (EEIO) framework based on detailed tourism expenditure data and Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSAs) in order to quantify the total (direct and indirect) economic impact and water use for multiple tourism segments. To demonstrate the rigour of the methodology it is applied to the eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus as a case study. The results show that cheaper forms of tourism tend to have a significantly lower total water use and, depending on the economic impact indicator of interest, may have above-average economic contribution per unit of expenditure. The proposed framework provides a significant step towards achieving sustainable water use through destination-specific estimates of water use intensity which take into consideration segment-specific attributes. It is envisaged that this could eventually lead to customised interventions for diverse tourism market segments.

“…Against this background, TCF analysis focuses on environmental issues caused by large-scale tourism, particularly its energy consumption and CO 2 emissions (defined as the amount of CO 2-eq emissions caused directly and indirectly by tourism activity), which have been widely researched at various scales, such as analyses for the countries of New Zealand [18], Sweden [19], Australia [20], Spain [21,22], Iceland [23], and China [24][25][26]; the regions of Taiwan [27][28][29], Wales [30], and Poole [31]; and even the scenic locations of the Penghu Islands [32] and Huangshan National Park [33]. TCF analysis excels at assessing the impact of tourism greenhouse gas emissions on climate change and identifying the contribution of tourism carbon emissions to climate change at the global scale, which has become a key research field.…”

Abstract:The tourism footprint family comprises the tourism ecological footprint (TEF), the tourism carbon footprint (TCF) and the tourism water footprint (TWF). The tourism footprint represents an important tool for quantitatively assessing the impact of tourism activities on the ecosystem of a tourist destination. This paper systematically reviews the relevant literature on TEF, TCF and TWF, analyses and summarizes the main progress and failures in the analytical frameworks, research methods, measurement results, environmental impacts and reductions in the tourism footprint. This paper also proposes areas for further developing the tourism footprint research, including unifying the analytical frameworks and boundaries of the tourism footprint, distinguishing the geographical scope of the tourism footprint effectively, improving the process of analyzing the environmental impact of the tourism footprint, measuring the tourism footprint scientifically and roundly, performing space-time calculations of the tourism footprint, and expanding the tourism footprint family by introducing new members. Accordingly, this paper is devoted to the continued study of the tourism footprint.

“…Loo and Li [10] stated that the main factor contributed to emission reduction was the lower emission intensity supported by relevant policies, the effect was weak though. Munday [11] examined the carbon footprint associated with tourism spending in a regional economy. Tsai et al [12] conducted an investigation on carbon dioxide emissions from four types of hotels in Taiwan.…”

Simulation and Prediction of Decarbonated Development in Tourist Attractions Associated with Low-carbon Economy

Abstract:In the field of tourism, the development of tourist attractions is gradually playing a crucial role in tourism economy, regional economy and national economy. While tourism economy is stimulated by growing demand, tourist attractions have been facing the situation that ecological environment is becoming fragile and environmental protection is increasingly difficult in China. As low-carbon economy is highlighted more than ever before, how to develop green economy, how to apply theories and technologies, which are related to low-carbon economy, to push forward decarbonation, to protect the ecological environment, and to boost the development of tourism economy have become the core problems for the sustainable development of tourist attractions system. In addition, this system has drawn the attention of scholars and practitioners in recent years. On the basis of low-carbon economy, this paper tries to define the decarbonated development goals and the connotation of tourist attractions system. In addition, it also discusses system structure associated with system dynamics and system engineering, and constructs system simulation model. In the end, a case study is conducted, that is, to predict the development trend of Jiuzhai Valley by adopting the constructed system so as to extend the previous research on low-carbon tourism and to guide the decarbonated development in tourist attractions.
