Abstract:
AIncreasing in greenhouse gas emission is nominated as the reason of global climate change, and tourism is one of its anthropogen sourses. Our research aims to investigate how much tourism as an ecological sector contribute to the greenhouse gas emission, are there tendencies in time of the emission of the gases and is there any correlation between the emission and the gross added value produced of the sector. The carbon-efficiency of the sector was analysed (how much emission is required for production of a unit of the gross added value). Between 1995 and 2017 an average decrease of 5.8% can be seen per a year. The data of the Hungarian Statistical Office were used for the researsches.
