Sažetak
The ongoing climate changes have created various challenges for
each industry to achieve sustainable environmental goals. Like
other extensively growing industries, China’s film and drama
industry and inbound tourism are also responsible for contributing
effectively toward a sustainable environment. Despite its significant importance, there is a dearth of empirical evidence that analyses these industry’s environmental performance. Thus, this study
fills the gap by applying the novel bootstrap ARDL approach and
found that Inbound Tourism and Film and Drama industry
increased environmental performance (reducing ecological footprint) in China. These results imply that entertainment industries
and inbound tourism increased social awareness and encouraged
environmental protection in societies and industries. Manifestly,
the coefficient’s magnitude of the Film and Drama industry is relatively lower due to a smaller share of the overall economy.
However, it shows significant potential for sustainability by creating awareness about sustainable practices and corporate social
responsibility, leading to higher environmental performance.
Moreover, a feedback effect (two-way causality) exists between
Film and Drama industry, Inbound Tourism, and environmental
performance. These results offer valuable policy recommendations.
