Abstract

In terms of Kyoto protocol, the reduction of CO2 emissions of the transport used in tourism is an important goal for Latvia. Based on a top-down and a bottom-up approach, the CO2 emissions of tourism transport and its types were estimated, while analysing the relation between the CO2 emissions from tourism transport and the relevant input of the tourism transport as part of GDP and vice versa. The results concerning the period 2010 till 2017 showed that the CO2 emissions caused by tourism transport rose from 996.8 x 103 kg/km to 1527.3 x 103 kg/km. The aviation transport associated with the increased tourism activity is the main cause for the increase of CO2 emissions in Latvia. The connection between the CO2 emissions from tourism and the contribution of tourism transport to GDP is linear. The trend in increase of CO2 emissions in the tourism industry is similar to that of other industries.

二氧化碳排放与旅游业增长:拉脱维亚的案例研究

就《京都议定书》而言，减少旅游中使用的交通工具的二氧化碳排放是拉脱维亚的一个重要目标。基于自顶向下和自底向上的方法，估算了旅游交通运输的二氧化碳排放量及其类型，并分析了旅游交通运输的二氧化碳排放量与旅游交通运输占GDP比重的相关投入之间的关系，反之亦然。2010 - 2017年，旅游交通造成的CO2排放量从996.8 x 103 kg/km增加到1527.3 x 103 kg/km。与旅游活动增加有关的航空运输是拉脱维亚二氧化碳排放量增加的主要原因。旅游业的二氧化碳排放量与旅游交通对GDP的贡献呈线性关系。旅游业二氧化碳排放量的增长趋势与其他行业相似。
