“…Similarly, Ișik et al ( 2020 ) checked the authenticity of the EKC hypothesis for seven G7 economies over the period of 1995–2015. The empirical findings from panel bootstrap cointegration test and augmented mean group (AMG) report that except France, tourism-induced EKC hypothesis is not valid for all G7 economies.…”

To tackle the issue of climate change and environmental degradation debates regarding carbon neutrality is on the rise. Regional Comprehensive Economic Cooperation (RCEP), the leading trading union, covers nearly third of global economy, world population, is responsible for thirty percent of global trade and global gross domestic product. The existent study tests the impact of financial, economic, political, and composite risk on consumption-based carbon dioxide emissions (CCO 2 ) in selected RCEP economies during the period of 1990 to 2020. The empirical analysis consists of cross-sectional dependence, slope heterogeneity, cross-sectional augmented panel unit root test, Westerlund cointegration, second-generation cross-section augmented autoregressive distributed lags model (CS-ARDL), and panel causality test. Further, we explore the role of imports, renewable energy supply, exports, and gross domestic product per-capita on CCO 2 . The empirical results suggest that the less political risk help to mitigate while the lower financial, economic, and composite risk increase CCO 2 emissions in selected RCEP economies. Moreover, exports and renewable energy supply show mitigating effect, whereas imports show upsurge in CCO 2 . Additionally, a bidirectional causality exists between exports and CCO 2 , imports and CCO 2 , GDP per-capita and CCO 2 , political risk and CCO 2 , and renewable energy and CCO 2 emissions, while a one-way causality from financial risk, composite risk, and economic risk to CCO 2 . Renewable energy supplies along with the improvement in sub-components of political risk, for instance, corruption, government stability, would help to effectively tackle the issue of CCO 2 emissions.

“…The tourism industry worldwide is being among the most damaged industries from the COVID-19 lockdowns. Some studies in the hospitality industry indicate that innovative capabilities of firms can be a solution to recover from [41,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69] and overcome COVID-19 during and after the crisis [70,71]. Breier et al's [70] suggest business model innovation to cope with the pandemic, while Shin and Kang [72] technological innovation.…”

Tacit knowledge sharing is an essential intellectual capital for frontline employees in hotel enterprises. While the relationship of knowledge sharing with team culture (TC) and innovative work behavior (IWB) was investigated in the extant literature, little is known about the extent to which tacit knowledge sharing affects TC and IWB. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to investigate the role of tacit knowledge sharing in the relationship between TC and IWB. For this purpose, data were gathered from 360 department managers of Turkish 4–5 star hotels. The results were analyzed utilizing Smart PLS 3 using bootstrapping to determine the level of significance of the relationships between tacit knowledge sharing, TC and IWB. The results show statistically significant relationships between tacit knowledge sharing, TC and IWB. Moreover, tacit knowledge sharing has a mediating role in the relationship between team culture and innovative work behavior.

“…Our study advances the arguments by augmenting the conventional linear carbon-income model with tourist arrival as a key determinant of GHGs for the case of G7. Second, to the best of our knowledge, few studies such as (Ișik et al, 2020;Wu et al, 2020) discuss the effects of international tourism arrivals using G-7 as a case study. However, this study employs robust econometric analysis consistent with literature such as pool mean group-autoregressive distributed lag (PMG-ARDL), dynamic ordinal least square (DOLS) and full modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) for long-run regression among the outlined study variables, while for detection of causality direction Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality test is employed.…”

A large volume of environmental science and pollution research has focused on the contributions of various forms of energy consumption to emissions. However, little attention is given to the impact of human activities such as tourism. Hence, this study investigates the impact of tourist arrivals, energy use, and economic growth on CO2 emissions in the G7 countries for the period 1995–2018. The study employed the use of dynamic panel estimations, namely dynamic ordinary least square, fully modified ordinary least squares and panel pooled mean group-autoregressive distributed lag model (PMG-ARDL) estimation techniques to establish long-run and short-run relationships between the study variable of interest, while the Dumitrescu Hurlin non-causality test was used to test for causality direction among the variables outlined. Empirical findings from the regression revealed that economic growth, tourism and energy use are strong drivers of emission levels in the G7 bloc, while the causality analysis revealed that there is unidirectional causality from CO2 to energy use, CO2 to economic growth (GDP) and GDP to tourist arrivals. These outcomes imply that tourism, energy use and economic growth have no direct effect on emissions, but rather emissions predict economic growth and energy use. Furthermore, tourist arrivals predict energy use; economic growth predicts tourism. Overall based on the study of empirical outcomes, we suggest that to achieve more significant results in reducing emissions, governments of the G7 countries should continue to emphasize green tourism as well as increase the share of renewable energy in their regional energy mix. More policy direction was outlined in the concluding section of this study.
