Abstract

Due to the spread of COVID-19, a global pandemic has developed since December 2019, severely affecting various economic sectors, including tourism and secondary and tertiary industries. To analyse the effects of the European tourism sector on CO2 emissions, emissions are modelled together with tourism indicators. The model allows for estimating the impact of the tourism sector on greenhouse gas emissions, distinguishing them from time and space effects. The model's results suggest a positive impact of tourism arrivals and tourism-related expenditure on CO2 emissions, meaning that the decrease in tourism contributed significantly to the overall reduction of CO2 emissions. Analysing the spatial autocorrelation shows that all countries we investigated are similarly affected by a reduction in tourism, and there appears to be no regional differentiation of impacts by COVID-19. To conclude the model's results, the reduction in emissions can be partly explained by the decrease in travel, which points to the potential in this relation that could be used as leverage in conceptualising measures to reduce CO 2, targeting the tourism sector.
2019冠状病毒病对旅游业的环境外部性影响
2019年12月以来,受新冠肺炎疫情影响,全球疫情蔓延,严重影响旅游、二、三产业等经济领域。为了分析欧洲旅游业对二氧化碳排放的影响,将排放与旅游业指标一起建模。该模型可以估计旅游业对温室气体排放的影响,将其与时间和空间效应区分开来。该模型的结果表明,旅游人数和旅游相关支出对二氧化碳排放有积极影响,这意味着旅游业的减少对二氧化碳排放的总体减少有显著贡献。分析空间自相关性表明,我们调查的所有国家都受到旅游业减少的类似影响,并且COVID-19的影响似乎没有区域差异。总结模型的结果,排放量的减少可以部分地用旅行的减少来解释,这指出了这种关系的潜力,可以作为概念化措施的杠杆,以减少二氧化碳,目标是旅游业。
