Sažetak
This study’s objective is to analyze ecological footprints that exist
among China’s economic growth, energy consumption, carbon dioxide
emissions, and the revenue that is generated from tourism in
other countries. The years 1995 through 2020 are the focus of this
particular research endeavor. The relationship between tourism and
carbon emissions has been discovered by a large number of
researchers; nevertheless, the findings have been inconsistent and
do not give a clear picture of the situation. We can only hope that
the results of the study will improve the existing body of knowledge
on tourism and the quality of the surrounding environment.
Throughout the whole of this investigation, the autoregressive distributed
lagged (ARDL) model was used to explore both long-run
and short-run estimations. A dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS)
model was used in the study to arrive at long-term estimations that
could be relied upon. Even though money from tourism does not
have a substantial influence on the quality of the environment in
China, growth and increasing energy usage are primary donors to
carbon emissions in the nation. ARDL model’s long-term projections
were shown to be correct by the DOLS approach, which offered this
validation. The results of the research provide fresh insights into the
body of knowledge that has been accumulated on the subject of the
linkage between tourism and the natural environment. Because the
receipts from tourism do not have any significant negative exteriority
toward the environment, energy usage is an important element
of environmental degradation and policymakers should prioritize
the development of the tourism sector over energy-focused manufacturing
activities to maintain the growth of the nation in the upper
quartiles. This is because tourismdoes not have any significant negative
externalities on the environment. Sustainable tourism minimizes
environmental and cultural damage while boosting profits.
Developing the appropriate technology, physical infrastructure, and
human capital requires money, time, and effort.
