“…This finding is consistent with those of, amongst others, Han, Zheng, and Wang, who recorded that rapid expansion of tourism in China resulted in an increase in carbon emissions and energy consumption, and environmental issues related to these factors will become increasingly significant [1,36,37]. In addition, it has been recorded that tourism industry carbon emissions and energy consumption in both developed countries (France, Switzerland, and Australia) and developing countries (Pakistan and Malaysia) are still increasing with the continuous expansion of tourism scale [38][39][40][41][42]. In the tourism industry segments, carbon emissions and energy consumption related to the transportation of tourists account for more than 80%, a finding that is in agreement with the results of [26,38,[43][44][45].…”

Promoting tourism in China using sustainable practices has become a very important issue. In order to analyze temporal characteristics and spatial regularities of green total factor productivity (GTFP), carbon emissions and the consumption of energy related to tourism in China were estimated using a "bottom-up" method. The construction of a measurement framework (including carbon emissions and energy consumption) of GTFP for the tourism industry was also undertaken. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) model and the Malmquist–Luenberger (ML) index were used to measure and calculate tourism GTFP in China between 2007 and 2018, as well as analyze spatio-temporal differences. Results indicate that: (1) carbon emissions and the consumption of energy are increasing, and they have not yet peaked, with traffic associated with tourism accounting for the largest proportion among tourism sectors; the spatial distribution of carbon emissions and the consumption of energy is not balanced; (2) green development of tourism in China has achieved a good level of performance during the study period, driven by technical efficiency. Since 2014, pure technical efficiency (PE) has been >1, indicating that the tourism industry in China has entered a stage of change and promotion; (3) significant spatial differences exist in tourism GTFP in China. For example, the overall pattern of being strongest in the east and weakest in the west has not changed. Currently, eastern, central, and western regions in China rely on different dynamic mechanisms to promote tourism green development. In addition, some provinces have become the core or secondary growth poles of tourism green development in China.

“…The average wind speed is around 8 km/h with a relative humidity of 85% (Zulfakar et al, 2020;Hamsan and Ramli, 2020). Over the years, TCRB has become one of the most popular destinations for both international and domestic tourism and recreation in Pahang (Bhuiyan et al, 2011;Agita, 2019). Attractions, including the availability of many accommodations, such as hotels, restaurants, and proximity to the capital city of Pahang, are some of the factors that led TCRB to become the most frequently visited beach in Pahang.…”

Public understanding of rip current and beach safety at Teluk Cempedak Recreational Beach in Pahang, Malaysia

Rip currents are known to be a global public health issue and have been extensively contributed to the coastguard rescues and drowning cases at recreational beaches. Most studies in Malaysia have focused on the physical control of rip currents, with little emphasis on social factors. This study aims to assess the public knowledge of rip currents and beach safety at Teluk Cempedak Recreational Beach (TRCB) in Pahang, Malaysia. A convenience sampling technique was used to conduct a cross-sectional study among 300 beachgoers in TCRB. All data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire.Bivariable and multivariable logistic analyses were computed to identify factors associated with satisfactory knowledge of rip current and beach safety. More than half of the respondents were females (51%) and residents of Kuantan (62%). Out of 300 respondents, 160 (53.3%) had a satisfactory knowledge of rip currents, while a higher number of respondents (n = 221, 73.7%) had an unsatisfactory knowledge of beach safety. Those aged 35 and up, females, and those who had never had difficulty with water activities at the beach were more likely to have satisfactory knowledge of rip currents. The only factor found to be significantly related to satisfactory beach safety knowledge was age (35 years old). In conclusion, the respondents were concerned about rip currents, but they had inadequate knowledge of beach safety. Therefore, the development of effective beach safety education programmes is needed in Malaysia.

“…In our Research and interaction with the FD and the Communities, we have seen that, if the FD expects the Communities, not to go back to the forests, to plunder the resources, out of anger and even at times set fire to the Forests. and if there is an opportunity to evolve the community to participate along with the FD, then wherever possible, Ecotourism becomes a special purpose vehicle (SPV) (Maria, Freeda, 2019), for as ecotourism development depends on local participation and support from the local community, local perception is commonly assessed to understand the performance of the ecotourism development under various governance systems (Bhuiyan, Md., 2011). The SPVs in India have fallen under the nomenclature of Eco-development Committees (EDC), and Ecotourism Management Committees (ETMC); which have brought about a scenario of Ecotourism that benefits the environment, the economy, the attractions in the area, and the local communities.…”

Design Thinking (DT) has been applied to the corporate world with elan, and organizations have made DT their mainstay. Tourism in its Sustainable avatar can be seen in Community Based Ecotourism (CBE) which has brought to the forefront the Community who live in the forest fringes to adopt to business opportunities with support from the Government, primarily the Forest Departments (FD) across various states in India, and helped in the creation of special purpose vehicles (SPV) which have provided for livelihood options, income generating opportunities at the same point in time to preserve and conserve the ecology, environment, the flora and fauna, which is the mandate of the FD. The researcher paper talks about the efforts of applying DT to community-based business activities and with a population which may not be able to appreciate the larger nuances of business, as we seen in the modern contemporary term. The adoption of DT to businesses and organization, was easily juxtaposed on account of the understanding the associates/employees already had about DT. But when it came to the community helping them to understand the facets was tough, but once they understand that this is for their betterment, they have never looked back. We realized that the experiences provided by the communities were not short of the corporate world and look forward to implement this further as best practices.
