Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the last several decades, the influence of economic development on the environment has become more evident, while concerns over climate change have simultaneously been increasing rapidly. At the same time, the energy crisis of 2022 has made the need for energy transition even more imperative. The tourism industry and the environment are closely connected because there is a deep interaction between them; the tourism industry’s activities affect the environment in various ways while tourism development is affected by environmental conditions. Moreover, tourism consumes significant amounts of energy. Thus, tourism is directly affected by the need for environmental sustainability and energy transition. The necessary measures for environmental sustainability and energy transition can have a significant economic impact on tourism.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the most recent research results concerning the economic analysis of energy transitions and sustainability issues in tourism.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Energy transition in tourism;
  • Energy transition and economic growth;
  • Economic impact of energy transitions;
  • Energy consumption and tourism development;
  • Energy consumption and environmental degradation;
  • Energy consumption and economic growth;
  • Environmental sustainability in tourism;
  • Economic impact of environmental sustainability measures;
  • Interaction between carbon emissions, economic growth, energy and tourism.

Due to a rapidly growing population and economy, an increase in emissions from urban growth, industrial growth, and energy use hurt the environment’s health. This research examines how tourism, population, income, renewable energy, and electricity consumption affect carbon emissions in twenty-six low-income countries. There is no cross-sectional dependence (CSD) problem, so quantile regressions (QR) and generalized method of moments (GMM) are used. Results show that the environment is obtaining benefits because of tourism. CO2 emissions are rising because the per capita income, electricity consumption, and population are growing. CO2 emissions can be lowered by using more renewable energy and growing the economy faster. Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is also valid in low-income countries. Thus, increasing income will not be harmful to the environment. Similarly, increasing tourism, renewable energy, and rising GDP per capita benefit low-income countries. The government can focus on sustainable tourism. Policymakers may convince more people to use renewable energy resources and grow the sustainable tourism industry. This study recommends that the government reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote tourism that is good for the environment, take initiatives to limit population growth, and use renewable energy.

Tourism has become one of the most important sectors in many countries, significantly contributing to their economic growth and development. However, the expansion of tourism has also brought about various environmental and social challenges. The relationship between tourism, economic growth, trade openness, and the environment is diverse and complex. The objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the international tourism development index, GDP per capita, CO2 emissions, trade openness index as well as the energy intensity index in EU 27, over the 1995–2019 period. A composite index for international tourism was developed using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Panel Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach is used to reveal the long- and short-run impact of GDP per capita, CO2 emissions, trade openness index as well as the energy intensity index on the tourism development index. Panel ARDL estimates confirm some of our research hypotheses: at the level of EU countries, there is a short-run relationship between tourism and GDP per capita, but only in a few EU countries, trade openness influences tourism development index. Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality test confirms long-run feedback relationship between tourism development index and trade openness, between tourism development index and CO2 emissions, and between tourism development index and GDP and unilateral causality running from tourism development index towards energy efficiency.
