“…Similarly, the study examining the energy system optimization, cost, and carbon emissions of a medium-sized hotel in Greece also states that by introducing a Photovoltaic (PV) net measurement system, carbon emissions associated with the energy system can be reduced by 31% [11].…”

“…Greece, as a tourism country, is also affected by environmental problems on a global scale. In the supplydemand relationship, the number of accommodation buildings that can meet the increasing tourist density is also increasing [41], [11]. The increase in accommodation buildings deteriorate the city's environmental resources [42].…”

“…Due to this fact, big accommodation buildings whose numbers increase rapidly consume energy and natural resources (use of materials), and produce waste, can have harmful effects on the natural environment. The share of tourism activities in total emissions is estimated to be 5% [11]. However, it is also stated that tourism buildings have a share of 21 % of C02 emissions.…”

Global environmental problems such as climate change, natural disasters, energy consumption, and biodiversity are among the main concerns of the countries. Approximately 50% of the energy consumed worldwide is spent on architectural constructions. The increase in energy consumption, especially in buildings, has brought energy efficiency and reduction of carbon footprint to the fore. There are many factors in determining energy consumption in buildings such as physical environment, climate, orientation, shell, and material properties. Energy consumption can be increased in order to provide indoor climatic comfort in winter and summer periods. This study aimed to investigate the energy consumption and comfort conditions of a boutique hotel in Abdera, Greece. ArchiCAD, Graphisoft, EcoDesigner software were used in the analysis of findings, and suggestions were put forward. We suggest that the effective use of natural resources in terms of individual, urban, social, and global perspectives will be positively influenced by the reduction of energy consumption without compromising comfort conditions in accommodation buildings.

“…With the increasing global environmental crisis, society and academia have paid great attention to carbon emissions. Some scholars have evaluated the carbon emissions of scenic spots [ 18 ], tourist transportation [ 19 , 20 ], and tourist accommodation [ 19 , 21 , 22 ]. Because hotels are open 24 h a day, with a wide variety of functions and facilities and the different living habits of residents, they are considered to be the main source of carbon emissions after tourist traffic [ 23 , 24 ].…”

Spatial-Temporal Characteristics and Driving Factors of the Eco-Efficiency of Tourist Hotels in China

At present, COVID-19 is seriously affecting the economic development of the hotel industry, and at the same time, the world is vigorously calling for “carbon emission mitigation”. Under these two factors, tourist hotels are in urgent need of effective tools to balance economic and social contributions with ecological and environmental impacts. Therefore, this paper takes Chinese tourist hotels as the research object and constructs a research framework for Chinese tourist hotels by constructing a Super-SBM Non-Oriented model. We measured the economic efficiency and eco-efficiency of Chinese tourist hotels from 2000 to 2019; explored spatial-temporal evolution patterns of their income, carbon emissions, eco-efficiency, and economic efficiency through spatial hotspot analysis and center of gravity analysis; and identified the spatial agglomeration characteristics of such hotels through the econometric panel Tobit model to identify the different driving factors inside and outside the tourist hotel system. The following results were obtained: (1) the eco-efficiency of China’s tourist hotels is higher than the economic efficiency, which is in line with the overall Kuznets curve theory, but the income and carbon emissions have not yet been decoupled; (2) most of China’s tourist hotels are crudely developed with much room for improving the economic efficiency, and most of the provincial and regional tourist hotels are at a low-income level, but the carbon emissions are still on the increase; and (3) income, labor, carbon emissions, waste emissions, and water consumption are the internal drivers of China’s tourist hotels, while industrial structure, urbanization rate, energy efficiency, and information technology are the external drivers of China’s tourist hotels. The research results provide a clear path for the reduction in carbon emissions and the improvement of the eco-efficiency of Chinese tourist hotels. Under the backdrop of global climate change and the post-COVID-19 era, the research framework and conclusions provide references for countries with new economies similar to China and countries that need to quickly restore the hotel industry.

“…The researcher's interest in the governance and institution of marine tourism is based on the reason that the development of marine tourism is one of the government's ways to boost the economy and promote equal development. The high enthusiasm of visitors to travel to the beach has made the tourism sector rapidly grow in many countries [1] [2]. This is because the beach offers various natural beauties and interesting activities, such as swimming, surfing, or simply relaxing on the beach [3].…”

Marine tourism management is not just a matter of governance per se, institutional factors also seem to have an influence, especially in traditional marine tourism management, such as in Payangan. To understand the relationship between governance and institutions in marine tourism management in Payangan, this study aims to analyze the problems in governance and institutions in Payangan, as well as to develop a conceptual model design. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with the Soft System Methodology (SSM) approach as a systemic approach to solve complex governance and institutional problems in Payangan through a series of stages. The research results indicate that the dominant problem situation in Payangan is not in its governance, but rather in its institutions, particularly in accommodating the values of the local community that have long been neglected, as they are monopolized by certain small community groups and elements of the Sumberejo Village Government who are only seeking economic gain. The monopolies of certain parties have caused the governance and institutionalization of marine tourism in Payangan to not function properly, requiring a new conceptual model of governance and institutions based on the construction of reality, social networks, and path-dependent development within the realm of the science of administration, or New Institutional Administrations (NIA), as a development and critique of the first-level institution or embeddedness proposed by Williamson, which has economic dimensions or New Institutional Economics (NIE).
