Current issues in tourism
This paper adopts a problematising review approach to examine the extent of mitigating climate change research in the sustainable tourism literature. As climate change has developed into an existential global environmental crisis and while tourism's emissions are still increasing, one would expect it to be at the heart of sustainable tourism research. However, from a corpus of 2573 journal articles featuring ‘sustainable tourism’ in their title, …
Pathway to zero emissions in global tourism
Human emissions must reach zero by 2050 to avoid dangerous climate change. Most sectors have achieved a downward path for their greenhouse gas emissions, but tourism's emissions have continued to grow. We explore scenarios to reduce global tourism emissions and find only a narrow pathway to zero emissions tourism that could lead to net zero by 2050 while not severely damaging the tourism economy. Our study uses a system dynamics model. We describ…
L’aviation, le tourisme et la décarbonation dans les décennies à venir
Alors que le tourisme et le transport aérien se relèvent de l’impact de la Covid-19 et des problèmes structurels qu’elle a mis en lumière (conditions de travail, etc.), cela paraît être le moment de faire un bilan et une synthèse combinant les thématiques suivantes : les scénarios d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre du tourisme pour lesquels des travaux récents ont amélioré sensiblement la réflexion ; les émissions de l’aérien, dont 60 % selon le…
Why space tourism will not be part of sustainable tourism
Space travel, often used by the authors as an equivalent to ‘space tourism’, and outer-space migration should become part of the sustainability discourse – that is the most tempting argument of the
Are technology myths stalling aviation climate policy?
Assessing tourism's global environmental impact 1900–2050
This paper pioneers the assessment of tourism's total global resource use, including its fossil fuel consumption, associated CO2 emissions, fresh water, land, and food use. As tourism is a dynamic growth system, characterized by rapidly increasing tourist numbers, understanding its past, current, and future contributions to global resource use is a central requirement for sustainable tourism assessments. The paper introduces the concept of resour…

Denying bogus skepticism in climate change and tourism research
Understanding and Governing Sustainable Tourism Mobility
Despite a growing contribution to climate change, tourist and traveller behaviour is currently not acknowledged as an important sector within the development of climate policy. Whilst tourists may be increasingly aware of potential impacts on climate change there is evidence that most are unwilling to modify their actual behaviours. Influencing individual behaviour in tourism and informing effective governance is therefore an essential part of cl…

Can tourism deliver its “aspirational” greenhouse gas emission reduction targets?
This review paper examines the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets postulated by a range of organizations seeking to reduce the consequences of global climate change and how, or if, the global tourism sector can achieve its share of those targets. It takes both existing estimates of current tourism GHG emissions and emissions projected in a business-as-usual scenario through to 2035 and contrasts them with the “aspirational” emission …
Antarctic cruise tourism
This paper examines a paradoxical issue in tourism's adaptation to climate change and emissions reduction demands. Operators increasingly take tourists to destinations threatened by climate change, with Antarctica and other polar regions as favourites and cruise ship and aircraft as main transport modes. The selling point is to see a destination before it disappears, a form of last chance tourism. This has been claimed to increase the environment…
The Future of Tourism
Tourism is an increasingly significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Emissions growth in the sector is in substantial conflict with global climate policy goals that seek to mitigate climate change through significant emission reductions. This article discusses the role of various tourism sub-sectors in generating emissions, and technical and management options in reducing these. It concludes that given observed and anticipated em…
Tourism travel under climate change mitigation constraints
Pro-Poor Tourism, Climate Change and Sustainable Development
The critical probe on pro-poor tourism by Scheyvens is most welcome, as it asks generally the right questions which should have been answered long ago to substantiate the common optimistic views of governments and tourism officials. A generally overlooked problem of scale is that of the impact of pro-poor tourism (PPT) on climate change. This is also the case in the probe. Therefore, in my reaction to the probe, I will not only try to show why PP…
Consequences of Climate Policy for International Tourist Arrivals in Developing Countries
One of the major implications of climate change for tourism destinations is the potential impact that mitigation policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the rapidly growing aviation sector could have on travel costs and tourist mobility. Such impact is particularly salient for long-haul destinations. Recently tourism organisations such as the unwto have also expressed concern that aviation sector-focused mitigation policies in we…
‘It Does Not Harm the Environment!’ An Analysis of Industry Discourses on Tourism, Air Travel and the Environment
While a substantial part of the population in Europe seems well informed about the phenomenon of climate change, uncertainty seems to prevail in terms of its seriousness, its consequences for society and action that needs to be taken in order to prevent ‘dangerous interference with the climate system’. Many people seem to believe that there is no scientific consensus about climate change and that individual behavioural change is irrelevant in the…
