“…The positive economic impacts of tourism have always been discussed and thrived for. However, the negative impacts of tourism, specifically the industry's significant contribution to global emissions, are often overlooked or under studied at a destination level due to data limitations (Gössling, 2013;Sun, 2014;Gössling et al, 2015;Fauzel & Tandrayen-Ragoobur, 2021;Mondéjar-Jiménez & Ferrari, 2022;Conefrey & Hanrahan, 2022a;Hu, 2022). Consequently, climate action and decarbonisation or low-carbon policies are often not targeted at the tourism industry (Yang et al, 2022).…”

Destination’s dependency on aviation leads to inbound tourists producing higher levels of emissions than domestic tourists. This paper aimed to measure the first baseline carbon footprint of inbound tourism at a popular island destination, without the Tourism Satellite Accounts. The environmentally extended input-output life-cycle analysis is the most favourable approach to measure tourism emissions. However, this approach cannot be applied internationally due to the lack of tourism data. Therefore, this study implemented an integrated bottom-up approach to successfully measure inbound tourism emissions. According to this study, inbound tourism to Ireland generates 11.78 MtCO2eq, this is a conservative estimate due to the assumptions made to overcome the data limitations. Nevertheless, this study contributes to the increasing body of knowledge on tourism emissions as it establishes Ireland’s first baseline carbon footprint of inbound tourism and demonstrates the need to upskill the tourism industry to actively measure, monitor and manage tourism decarbonisation.

“…The most frequently used hypotheses were tourism-led growth, conservation, feedback, and neutrality. The hypothesis of tourism-led growth presents that the tourism industry boosts the economic condition of the country because this sector enhances revenue, creates job opportunities, and transfers wealth to poorly developed areas [19,39], However, a decline in tourism activities brings about an economic recession, which confirms that tourism is a prevalent factor and has an influential role in the entire economy of the country. Therefore, countries, especially poorly developed countries, must focus on this sector to strengthen their economy and become economically safe and sound [9,16,34,37,[39][40][41][42][43][44].…”

“…On the other hand, tourism reduces inflation within the country because it results in economic growth, where each step is controlled by the market. Fauzel and Tandrayen-Ragoobur [39] argue that no long-run association exists between money supply and inflation because tourism strengthens the country's economy. The tourism sector is enriched, which boost the economy; hence, inflation may not alter this role of tourism [64].…”

Tourism has played an influential role in the global economies. It is considered the third largest socio-economic sector and contributes about 9% to the world economy’s GDP. Tourism enhances investments, creates job opportunities, harnesses entrepreneurship, and secures heritage and cultural values and norms. However, tourism faces serious challenges in developing countries, especially in Pakistan. Therefore, the main aim of the current study is to examine the influential factors that affect the tourism sector and exhibit the nexus between tourism and economic development in Pakistan. The study collected data from the Global Terrorism Index (GTI), Pakistan Tourism Statistics, and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) for the period from 1995 to 2017. The results of the study present that terrorism, which hampers peace and certainty, tourism expenditure and inflation rate, has a strong influence on the tourism sector in Pakistan. Moreover, the study also disclosed that tourism boosts the long-term macro-economic factors and leads to the economic development of Pakistan.

“…As an integral component of marine tourism, fishing enables individuals to interact with coastal communities, contributing to the sustainability of local economies [11]. In light of the increasing demand for experiential tourism, the fusion of marine tourism and fishing activities serves as a testament to the evolving preferences of modern travelers seeking immersive encounters with coastal environments [12]. In conclusion, the symbiotic relationship between marine tourism and fishing not only broadens the appeal of coastal destinations but also underscores the significance of sustainable practices to ensure the longevity of this dynamic relationship.…”

The research addresses the growing need for efficient management of marine tourism activities in Indonesia, explicitly diving, snorkeling, and fishing. With the rapid expansion of marine tourism, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions to streamline information dissemination and enhance tourist experiences. This study proposes the development of a database and information system utilizing the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology to cater to the diverse needs of tourists engaging in marine activities. The Rapid Application Development approach comprises requirement planning, user design, construction, and cutover phases. Oracle Apex serves as the primary instrument for database design and system development. The findings suggest that implementing digital innovation in the form of information systems and databases significantly enhances the tourist experience in marine tourism destinations. Integrating GIS technology enables the visualization of location maps and valuable information, enriching the user experience and facilitating informed decision-making processes. Test results indicate that the application functions optimally and can be utilized effectively for destination management in Indonesia, emphasizing the practical implications of digital innovation in the tourism sector. In conclusion, designing and implementing a database and information system for marine tourism activities offer substantial benefits for destination management and tourist experiences in Indonesia. This research underscores the importance of technological advancements in optimizing destination management and fostering sustainable tourism development in coastal regions.
