Dirty vacations: Dirty Dance: Tourism and Environment by Serhan Cevik as of September 26th, 2022 (#7): “… international tourism has a statistically and economically significant effect on CO2 emissions in a relatively homogenous panel of 15 tourismdependent Caribbean countries over the period 1960–2019. … an increase of 10 percent in the number of international visitors is associated with an increase of as much as 8 percent in CO2 emissions …. The negative impact of tourism on environmental quality occurs through several channels in Caribbean countries including carbon-intensive energy production and consumption of material resources in accommodation, transportation and other tourist activities, and changes in land use associated with tourism-related investments” (p. 13).
