Decarbonising tourism: mission impossible?

Abstract: for their critical and very helpful comments. My sincere thanks also to Rochelle Turner and Geoffrey Lipman for providing feedback. I am also very grateful to Prof Bernard Lane who gave me his wisdom both as a longstanding expert in sustainable tourism and as an editor; his input has improved the manuscript substantially. All the arguments made are mine and may not reflect the views of those colleagues who read the manuscript.

“…However, whilst shame or guilt might be internalised and aligned with other grass-root shifts in perspectives and language behaviour, there are systemic barriers that might prevent fundamental change (Becken, 2019). Widespread change will not materialise as long as an important majority believes in the paradigm of the "right of travel", promoted by institutions like the European Union, the UNWTO or the WTTC (Bianchi & Stephenson, 2013).…”

“…Unter diesen Voraussetzungen -das heißt einer gezielten und großzügigen staatlichen Förderung privater Initiativen -ließe sich ein inkrementeller Adaptionsprozess erreichen (d. h. eine Anpassung durch viele kleine Schritte), der für den Tourismus bislang als eher wenig vielversprechend eingestuft wurde (Becken 2019 Zu den häufig eingesetzten Forschungsmethoden gehört das Choice-Experiment (diskretes Entscheidungsexperiment oder diskretes Auswahlexperiment), das es ermöglicht, Wahlentscheidungen differenziert zu untersuchen (Lancaster 1971;Louviere et al 2000). Das Choice-Experiment, das in der Regel in einem Fragebogen zur Anwendung kommt, ist eine Auswahl-bzw.…”

“…Die große Bedeutung von Planungsprozessen im Zusammenhang mit Tourismus und Klimawandel wird auch darin gesehen, dass insbesondere durch partizipative Planungsprozesse größeren Teilen der Gesellschaft eine Stimme gegeben wird und die Entwicklung dadurch nicht nur durch die touristischen Betriebe oder das Destinationsmanagement bestimmt wird. Dadurch ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit höher, dass ökonomische, ökologische und soziale Belange in gleichberechtigter Weise berücksichtigt werden (Dwyer 2018;Becken 2019).…”

“…It is without doubt that human-induced climate change is a fact and threatens to place immense pressures on economies and social institutions and norms, as well as on the natural environment (Becken 2019). Tourism's role in contributing to carbon dioxide emissions, the major driver of atmospheric heating, equates to about 8 per cent of total global emissions (Lenzen et al 2018).…”

“…It is highly likely that such changes in production and consumption of tourism will involve a decrease in international travel and thus, if tourism is to continue to be promoted, an increase in domestic tourism. Becken (2019) cites World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) figures showing that 73 per cent of all tourism expenditure globally is derived from domestic tourism. As long as the travel component is not undertaken by air and there are strong energy policies in place to support the tourism and hospitality sector in well-planned and designed destinations, there is no reason why domestic tourism should not grow further and contribute to a more sustainable tourism system in the future, which is even more likely as a result of potential ongoing travel restrictions designed to halt the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic.…”
