摘要
随着旅游产业规模的不断壮大,旅游业对气候、环境的影响日益引起国际机构和社会各界的关注。旅游业能源利用及二氧化碳排放是旅游对环境影响的重要驱动力之一,成为近5年来世界旅游研究的新兴热点。旅游产业特点决定了旅游业能源消耗和二氧化碳排放量的测算是个世界性的难题。本文采用"自下而上"法,通过文献研究与数理统计方法,首次系统估算中国旅游业能源消耗和二氧化碳排放量。结果表明,2008年,中国旅游业消耗能源428.30PJ,占中国能源总消耗量的0.51%;排放二氧化碳51.34Mt①,占全国二氧化碳总排放量的0.86%。旅游业是低耗能、低排放、低碳产业,是应对气候变化和节能减排的优势产业,应该成为低碳经济发展的重要领域。
In 2009,a total of nearly 900 million international tourist arrivals were counted worldwide.A global activity of this scale can be assumed to have a substantial impact on the environment.In this contribution,five major aspects such as the change of LUCC and the use of energy and its associated impacts had been recognized.Recently,the impact of tourism on environment and climate attracts the attention of international organizations and societies in pace with rapid development of tourism industry.Energy consumption and CO2 emissions in tourism sector has become a hot topic of international tourism research in recent five years.The use of energy for tourism can be divided according to transport-related purposes（travel to,from and at the destination） and destination-related purposes excluding transports（accommodation,food,tourist activities,etc.）.In addition,transports,accommodation and food are related to many other industries dependent on energy.Thus,the estimations of energy consumption and CO2 emissions in tourism sector have become a worldwide concern.Tourism in China grows rapidly,and the number of domestic tourists was 1902 million in 2009.Energy use and its impact on the environment increase synchronously with China＇s tourism.It is necessary to examine the relationship between energy use and CO2 emissions.In this article,a preliminary attempt was applied to estimate the energy consumption and CO2 emissions from China＇s tourism sector in 2008.Bottom-up approach,literature research and mathematical statistics technology were also adopted.According to the calculations,Chinese tourism-related may have consumed approximately 428.30 PJ of energy in 2008,or ahout 0.51% of the total energy consumptions in China.It is estimated that CO2 emissions from tourism sector amounted to 51.34 Mt,accounting for 0.86% of the Chinese total.The results show that tourism is the industry of low-carbon and the leading industry coping with global climate change,energy-saving and CO2 emission reduction.Based on this,the aut
