On Decoupling Analysis of Tourism Economy and Measurement of Carbon Emissions from Tourism Transportation:A Case Study of Five Provinces(regions)in Northwestern China
Taking the five provinces(regions)in Northwestern China as examples,this paper used the"bottom-up"method to estimate the carbon emissions from tourism transportation in the five provinces(regions)from 2010 to 2022,and analyzed its temporal characteristics.The Tapio decoupling model was used to measure the decoupling relationship and changing trends between carbon emissions from tourism transportation and tourism economic growth.Through the analysis of data on t carbon emissions from tourism transportation and tourism economic growth the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve(EKC)model between the two was verified,and the relationship between carbon emissions from tourism transportation and tourism economic growth was explored.(1)The total carbon emissions from tourism transportation in the five provinces(regions)of Northwest China showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing,with the annual average carbon emissions of each province(region)ranked from highest to lowest as follows:Shaanxi,Xinjiang,Gansu,Ningxia,and Qinghai.(2)The decoupling index of carbon emissions from tourism transportation changed from weak decoupling to strong decoupling and then back to weak decoupling,with many provinces(regions)predominantly in a weak decoupling state.(3)There was an"N-shaped"curve relationship between carbon emissions from tourism transportation and tourism economy,which was consistent with the decoupling index.
