Transport-related CO2 emissions from the tourism sector – Modelling results
- International travel represents 80% of all international arrivals in 2016 and as forecasted for 2030. It is predominantly done by air, followed by car.
- Transport-related CO2 emissions from tourism will grow 25% by 2030 from 2016 levels, representing 5.3% of all man-made emissions in 2030.
- Transport-related CO2 emissions of the tourism sector constitute 22% of total emissions from the transport sector globally. Therefore, enhanced cooperation with the transport sector is essential for the world to achieve ambitions for net zero emissions.
- The tourism sector needs to transform towards low emission and high efficiency operations.
