Climate scientists from the University of Sydney in Australia say tourism causes over 8 per cent of
greenhouse gasses. They also say that this figure will continue to increase because the tourism industry is
growing. Their study looked at the carbon footprint of many different areas of tourism. It studied the CO 2
emissions from transport, events, hotels, restaurants and shopping. It even researched the carbon emissions
from producing souvenirs. The researchers spent 18 months conducting the research. They included the
tourist activities of 189 countries. Researcher Dr Arunima Malik said her team analysed the impact on the
environment of over one million businesses involved in tourism.
The researchers said domestic travel was a bigger cause of CO 2 emissions than international or
business travel. Air travel was the largest part of tourism's footprint. The researchers said flying would
continue to increase global emissions as more people in the world become richer. The countries causing the
most harm were the biggest and richest nations. The USA, China, India and Germany had the largest
tourism carbon footprints. Their carbon emissions will continue to increase as more of their citizens travel.
The researchers encouraged holidaymakers and travelers to try and reduce their carbon footprint when on
vacation so their travel causes less harm to the planet.
