区域旅游碳足迹测度——以南岳风景区为例

Carbon Footprint Measures of Regional Tourists——A Case Study of Nanyue Scenic Spot

随着人们环保意识的增强,低碳旅游的发展日益受到人们的关注。旅游活动产生的二氧化碳排放量的多少是评定旅游服务质量优劣的重要标准,所以碳足迹的测算就显得尤为重要。首先,本文综合运用生命周期评价理论与投入-产出理论,测算南岳旅游者在从"客源地-目的地-客源地"的整个旅游活动中,餐饮、住宿、交通以及旅游活动的碳足迹,结果表明:旅游交通环节碳足迹最多,占56.1%;旅游住宿和旅游活动的碳足迹所占的比例分别为23.0%、17.6%;旅游餐饮碳足迹最少,占3.3%.其次,基于问卷结果,构建因子分析模型,验证计算结果的合理性。最后,给旅游者、旅游企业及政府提出了减少碳足迹、保护旅游环境的建议。

As people＇s awareness of environmental protection is increasing day by day, the development of low-carbon tourism draws more and more concern. As the amount of carbon dioxide emission generated by traveling activities is an important criterion to assess the merits of low-carbon tourism service quality, carbon footprint calculation particularly matters. Firstly, the theory of life cycle assessment and input-output theory are comprehensively adopted to estimate tourists＇ carbon footprint in the whole traveling activities of Nanyue scenic spot from ＂source region of tourists-traveling destination-urce region of tourists＂, catering, accommodation, transportation, the results show that carbon footprints of tourists＇ traffic, whose carbon footprints are the maximum, amount to 56. 1% carbon footprints of tourism accommodation and carbon footprints of tourism activities account for 23.0% and 17.6% separately; carbon footprints of tourism catering, whose carbon footprints are minimum, account for 3. 3%. Secondly, based on the questionnaire, factor analysis model is constructed to verify the rationality of calculated results. Finally, according to the measurement results, proposals to protect the tourism environment as well as to reduce their carbon footprints are put forward for the government, tourists and tourism enterprises.
