浙江旅游业碳足迹的评估与增长脱钩研究

Evaluation of Zhejiang’s Tourism Carbon Footprint andIts Decoupling with Tourism Growth

旅游业已成为当今世界最大的新兴产业之一,然而旅游活动引起的碳排放对生态环境造成的影响并未引起广泛关注。文章利用2004—2017年浙江省旅游业的相关数据,估算浙江省旅游业的碳足迹总量及其构成,并运用Tapio脱钩模型进一步研讨碳足迹与旅游业发展的协同关系。研究表明,2004—2017年浙江省旅游业碳足迹总量和旅游收入均呈现快速增加趋势,后者增幅大于前者;旅游业碳足迹部门之间的差异明显,其中长途交通对旅游业碳足迹总量的贡献最大;浙江省旅游业碳足迹与经济增长关系在研究期间主要表现为弱脱钩状态。

Tourism is one of the largest emerging industries in the world today.However,the impact of carbon emissions caused by tourism activities on the ecological environment has not attracted widespread attention from scholars and governments.According to the data of Zhejiang’s tourism industry from 2004 to 2017,its total carbon footprint and composition are calculated,and the Tapio decoupling model is used to analyze the relationship between carbon footprint and tourism development.The results show that both the tourism industry carbon footprint and tourism income of Zhejiang Province from 2004 to 2017 showed a trend of rapid increase,with the latter increasing more than the former.There are obvious carbon footprint differences between tourism sectors,among which long-distance transportation contributes the most.The relationship between tourism industry carbon footprint and tourism economic growth during the research period mainly showed a weak decoupling.
