旅游碳排放量初步测算研究——以鄱阳湖生态经济区为例

Preliminary Measurement of Carbon Emissions in Tourism Industry: a Case of Poyang Lake Eco-economic Area

随着各地对国家节能减排政策的积极响应,低碳理念不断推广起来,低碳旅游应运而生。随着近几年低碳旅游的发展研究,其中关于旅游业碳排放测算的问题更是成为世界旅游学术界研究的新热点。文章以江西省鄱阳湖生态经济区旅游业为研究对象,以旅游交通、旅游住宿业、旅游活动为基本点,通过文献研究和数理统计的方法,初步测算了鄱阳湖生态经济区主要地区旅游业的碳排放量,并从横向和纵向两方面分析评价了研究结果。结果表明:2011年鄱阳湖生态经济区旅游业碳排量为107.06万吨,其中旅游交通是碳排放量的主要来源,占到75.97%,有着巨大的减排潜力。而南昌市作为鄱阳湖生态经济区的重点发展城市,其碳排量最高,达到28.49万吨。

With the positive response to the national and more popular, and the low-carbon tourism came energy-saving policy, low-carbon concept is becoming more into being. With the development of low-carbon tourism re- search, the measurement of carbon emissions in tourism industry is becoming a new hot issue in the world＇ s tourism academic research. Taking Poyang Lake Eco-economic Area as a case, based on tourism transportation, lodging industry and tourism activities, the article makes a preliminary estimate of carbon emissions in Poyang Lake Eco-economic Area through literature research and mathematical statistics, then analyzes and evaluates the results from both horizontal and vertical aspects. The results show： in 2011 the total tourism carbon emissions of Poyang Lake Eco-economic Area is 1,070,600 tons, and tourist traffic is the main source of carbon emissions, ac- counting for 75.97%, but it has a huge potential for emission reduction. Nanchang, as the key city in Poyang Lake Eco-economic Area, has the highest carbon emissions, reaching to 284,900 tons.
