摘要
The Tourism Industry plays a critical role in economic growth on the international scene but is equally responsible for contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and energy demand.The research analyzed the global trends of energy consumption(EC)within this industry concerning environmental performance,limits,and prospects of sustained expan-sion.It includes 300 tourism-related businesses across different global economic regions.Key tourism factors include EC,greenhouse gas emissions,renewable energy(RE)use,tourism’s Gross Domestic Product(GDP)contribution,and energy efficiency.Statistical methods such as regression and panel data analysis assess the impact of tourism GDP,carbon emissions and RE.The regression analysis,including linear regression and panel data regression,to assess the influence of factors such as tourism GDP,carbon emissions,RE share,and energy efficiency improvements,providing a data-driven approach to understanding EC in tourism.The findings reveal regional differences,with developed regions consuming more energy per capita,while developing markets show progress in energy-efficient practices.The findings of the linear regression analysis show tourism GDP contribution(β=4,200).The outcomes of the panel data regression analysis show the t-statistic values of carbon emissions(t=5.64).The Difference-in-Differences analysis indicates that tourist GDP is greater in developed regions(β=4,100)compared to developing regions(β=3,500).Carbon emissions(β=4,800)are greater,although RE(β=4,200)and energy efficiency(β=2,500)increase more in developing nations.The research emphasizes expanding use of RE in tourism infrastructure,especially in ecotourism and green hotels.
