Tourism recovery accumulates energy

Is tourism energy consumption sustainable?

Tourism energy consumption should be researched within the goals of sustainable tourism development and successful destination management. Existing studies on tourism energy consumption and sustainability are mostly related to two environmental themes.

What is the relationship between tourism and energy consumption?

The relationship between tourism and energy consumption and between GDP and energy consumption differs for total energy consumption and for the economic sectors most closely linked to tourism.

Does the number of tourists affect energy consumption?

The number of tourists does not affect energy consumption in the same way as tourism receipts. Likewise, two alternative tourism variables are used: the number of international tourist arrivals (TA) and international tourism receipts (TR). Both variables have been previously used in the literature as indicators of tourism.

Does tourism drive energy consumption?

Therefore, once again, it seems that tourism drives energy consumption (to a certain level), due to the increase in population at the tourist destination, regardless of tourist expenditure, which could diminish the transport sector energy use.

Do energy consumption studies and travel research make enough progress?

Energy consumption studies and travel research have not made enough progress. The findings demonstrate that both the tourist industry’s current energy requirements and the tourism strategy’s particulars influence the adoption of renewable energy technologies.

Are energy facilities a tourist attraction?

Energy facilities and landscape can also become tourism attractions. A new niche of industrial tourism, called energy tourism, has been just raised ( Frantál and Urbánková, 2017 ). A specific segment of tourists are attracted to such sites. Many aspects of energy tourism remain unknown.
