The tourism industry holds high importance for the economy of Latvia; therefore, it is important to comply with the low-emission mobility strategy. The aim of this research is to investigate the CO2 emissions caused by a trip to Latvia’s Western coast at the Baltic Sea for recreational fishing in order to create information basis for intensifying the development of the specific tourism industry on a Baltic Sea states scope. In this research a hybrid (top-down and bottom up) and regression method was used for determination of CO2 emissions and interlinked relations. Research results: Altogether travelling forth and back to fishing destinations totalled 22 546 km, emitting 5.796 tCO2 emissions; vehicle occupation rates for vehicles vary – for car – 28.9 %, for motorhome – 50 %, for vans – 25 %. Renewal of car fleet to more fuel-economy vehicles would help comply with the CO2 95 g/km goal, would reduce the emissions by 684.49 kg, 847 kg and by 570.84 kg accordingly. The emission reduction per passenger with 60 % seat occupancy depend on the car CO2 emission ratio – 155 g/km, 147 g/km or 131 g/km, and would correspond to the cumulative effect of CO2 6.77 kg, 5.01 kg and 5.40 kg. Annual journey to fishing destinations per passenger, with 95 g/km emissions and 60 % vehicle occupancy rate with given registered CO2 emissions at 155 g/km, 147 g/km or 131 g/km: would produce CO2 297.7 kg, 322.7 kg and 280.2 kg accordingly. Use of seat-sharing of newer cars would allow for a reduction of emissions, specifically within Latvia’s Western coast of Baltic Sea recreation fishing area, where due to the scarce population, public transport is less available.

“…There is no precise method for calculating CO2 emissions in tourism, due to both the relation of tourism with others fields of economics, as well as due to difficulties to collect [55]. However, despite these challenges, the authors' contribution to the Latvia's TT CO2 emissions research is innovative.…”

“…It is most common that the development of the tourism sector increases CO2 emissions. Causality shows that there is a reversible relation or causal neutrality between the indicators of GDP as a factor of growth and CO2 emissions, [53]- [55]. In certain cases, even no causality can be found between them [54].…”

The tourism has a close relation to the travel and tourism transport. Transport is the source of CO2 emissions. The aim of the research was to inspect the tourist transportation (TT) CO2 emissions caused by the tourist overnight trips, because any similar analysis up until now has not been made. For the determination of CO2 emissions from the TT a hybrid (top-down and bottom up) approach, correlation, regression was used. The author’s proposed algorithm for determining CO2 emissions from the TT is useful in the circumstances when there is not sufficient statistical data. In the research of regions of Latvia (NUTS 3) from 2012 to 2017, it was determined that the TT overnight trips indicated a reduction of CO2 emissions of 475 t/year. It is a positive approach in order to reach reduction of CO2 emissions according to the EU criteria for 2030; however, it left a negative impact on the national GDP. Finding solution to this economical problem is the aim of the next researches.

The current economic crisis caused by both the coronavirus disease and the global prevention measures, will have significant negative impact on the tourism sector. Some of the negative consequences possibly can be averted by increasing return from tourism industry. One of the opportunities is to develop the recreational fishing tourism. Until now the economic potential of the recreational fishing for ensuring sustainable development of Kurzeme coastal area was not acknowledged. The aim of the research was to determine the residents and non-residents coastal recreational anglers at the Baltic Sea coast of Kurzeme region and their total expenses. Through use of primary data acquired in recreation fishing environment the demographic data and habitual data of resident and non-resident anglers were analysed and compared to those of different regions in the EU and Australia. The calculated result is EUR 4,558 698 and that underlines the assumption on the economic potential of recreational fishing in the Baltic Sea coast of Kurzeme Region.
