Carbon footprints of travel to World Heritage Sites: communicating climate to potential tourists through a consumption-based life-cycle assessment
ABSTRACT In this study, an input-output-based hybrid life cycle assessment method is used to calculate the carbon footprint of a tourist’s travel to sixteen United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites (WHS) including direct and indirect emissions. The carbon footprint of three trip styles (budget, mid-range expenses, and high-end) is calculated for each WHS, reflecting options available to heritage tourists. This study is part of a more extensive study that created a climate communication recognition scheme (CCRS) for UNESCO WHS to communicate information about climate change to potential tourists and heritage site managers, elaborating and extending upon communication tools such as environmental product information schemes, certifications, and ecolabels. The results are intended for educational purposes and contribute to a holistic approach to carbon management in heritage tourism. The results are available online as an ArcGIS StoryMap titled Climate Footprints of Heritage Tourism.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Heritage Tourism ( JHT ) is a peer-reviewed, international transdisciplinary journal. JHT focuses on exploring the many facets of one of the most notable and widespread types of tourism. Heritage tourism is among the very oldest forms of travel. Activities such as visits to sites of historical importance, including built environments and urban areas, rural and agricultural landscapes, natural regions, locations where historic events occurred and places where interesting and significant living cultures dominate are all forms of heritage tourism. As such, this form of tourism dominates the industry in many parts of the world and involves millions of people. During the past 20 years, the study of tourism has become highly fragmented and specialised into various theme areas, or concentrations. Within this context, heritage tourism is one of the most commonly investigated forms of tourism, and hundreds of scholars and industry workers are involved in researching its dynamics and concepts. This academic attention has resulted in the publication of hundreds of refereed articles in various scholarly media, yet, until now there has been no journal devoted specifically to heritage tourism; Journal of Heritage Tourism was launched to fill this gap. JHT seeks to critically examine all aspects of heritage tourism. Some of the topics to be explored within the context of heritage tourism will include colonial heritage, commodification, interpretation, urban renewal, religious tourism, genealogy, patriotism, nostalgia, folklore, power, funding, contested heritage, historic sites, identity, industrial heritage, marketing, conservation, ethnicity, education and indigenous heritage.
