How to understand low-carbon tourism?

Low-carbon tourism refers to a brand-new tourism development model, which uses the theory of low-carbon economy and takes the principles of low energy consumption, low pollution and low emission to develop and utilize tourism resources and environment, so as to achieve high efficiency and low consumption of resource utilization and minimize environmental damage. Low-carbon tourism is a deep-seated environmental protection tourism, and the Vision Design Institute points out that it has two meanings:

1. low-carbon tourism production. For tourism, low-carbon tourism is actually a profound energy economic revolution in the economic field. Hotels, restaurants, scenic spots, rural tourism operators and other tourism production enterprises should actively use new energy and new materials, widely use energy-saving and water-saving emission reduction technologies, implement contract energy management, implement efficient lighting transformation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, actively develop circular economy, and then promote the upgrading of tourism industry, promote the technological progress of tourism industry and downstream industries, improve the resource productivity of the entire industrial chain, and finally achieve better economic development under the premise of low resource consumption and low energy demand.

2. Low-carbon tourism consumption. For tourism consumers, low-carbon tourism is first of all a low-carbon lifestyle, and carbon footprint and carbon dioxide emissions should be reduced as much as possible during travel, such as carrying environmentally-friendly luggage, staying in environmentally-friendly hotels, and choosing vehicles with low carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, for tourists, low-carbon tourism is an experience of new technologies and concepts, such as participating in carbon-neutral tourism activities, which is both a kind of enjoyment and a kind of responsibility.
