COVID-19 pandemic has lead to societal transformation in terms of economic, social, and environmental behaviours. Like other countries, Turkey has suffered from the pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the following major indicators: total hours worked by...

Background: Aircraft cabins are special environments. Passengers sit in close proximity in a space with low pressure that they cannot leave. The cabin is ventilated with a mixture of outside and recirculated air. The volume of outside air impacts the carbon footprint of flying. Higher...

Voluntary carbon offset (VCO) programs give air travelers opportunities to neutralize their carbon footprint. Despite its potential, few existing studies have explained how to present VCOs that can effectively appeal to the sensibilities of travelers in different conditions. We designed three...

Carbon emissions in the tourism industry stem from independent industries (e.g., aviation, accommodation, and catering), but it is unclear whether the participation of the tourism sector promotes carbon emission reduction. In China, the tourism sector has been involved in the formulation and...

This study estimated the CO₂ emissions produced by air travel that was consumed by inbound Olympics-related personnel (International Federation, media, Olympic family, and marketing partners) during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Results revealed that reduced attendance of Olympics-related personnel due...

The Paris Agreement suggests that all countries engage in significant emission reductions. To stay within safe guardrails, usually defined as a maximum warming of 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial times, this will mean decarbonisation within less than 30 years. This significant challenge is...

Space tourism, which has recently come to the attention of society, has sparked controversy over the environmental consequences of recreational space travel, which has become a lucrative business done by and for the super-rich. This scientific paper investigates, through qualitative and...

Voluntary Carbon Offsetting (VCO) scheme is an imperative part of airlines' practice to mitigate carbon emission problems. While previous studies have explored numerous factors influencing air travelers' participation, the mechanism of how general value systems impact specific VCO behaviors still...

Co-benefits are positive outcomes from voluntary carbon offsetting (VCO) programs beyond simple reduction in carbon emissions, which include biodiversity, air quality, economic, health, and educational benefits. Given the rates of aviation VCOs remain at less than 10%, this study investigated air...

This study aims to analyze the relationship among international tourism, energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, and economic growth in Mediterranean countries for the 1995-2014 data period. According to the results of panel quantile regression model for 17 countries, the tourism-led growth...
