Abstract/Summary:
Transportation can be said that it is maximum energy consumption and energyconsumption of the fastest growing industries.2009International Energy Agency'sReport shows that global CO2emissions by around25%from transport. China is thefirst traffic growth countries of the world today, transport CO2emissions accountingfor1/5of the overall emissions, therefore, the transport industry was identified as thekey areas of energy saving by the State Council. Tourism is a pillar industry in China,and has a strong correlation. Tourist transportation, as an important tool of space tomove for tourists, is one of the important source of tourism greenhouse gas emissions,is clearly an important area of tourism energy saving. Xinjiang is rich in tourismresources, but because of the relatively remote location, coupled with the distant ofspace distance between different tourist areas, and spots are scattered, the dependenceof the development of the tourism industry on the transport is more significant.Therefore, the tourist traffic in Xinjiang has a larger energy-efficient space.The development of low-carbon tourism traffic, so as to implement the tourismindustry energy saving is the scientific measures to deal with global warming and tomaintain the sustainable development of tourism, low-carbon tourism can not onlyachieve emissions-reduction targets, and can reduce the tourism industry energyconsumption and operating costs, increase tourism profits, and is conducive to thedevelopment of tourism. Under the premise of the rapid development of tourism in thecurrent, achieve low carbonization of tourist transport, It is an important part ofachieve tourism energy saving and develop low-carbon tourism economy. This meansthat the importance of research of the tourist traffic low carbonization. It is also thepurpose of this study.This research work is mainly from the following aspects, and the correspondingresults are: From the progress of domestic and international tourist traffic study view foundthat there is relatively few studies to the tourist traffic from the perspective oflow-carbon tourism. In this paper, by the form of questionnaires and visits, on thebasis of surveys to select the travel patterns of tourist's traffic have a certainunderstanding to the choice of tourists to tourism traffic travel mode in Xinjiang andOuter of Xinjiang. Found that tourists tend to choose high-carbon tourism traffictravel way. Xinjiang tourism traffic, basically covering all modes of transport, road,rail, aviation go hand in hand, formed the Xinjiang tourism transportation networktogether. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods,Namely the use of carbon footprint calculation methods made the initial accountingfor carbon footprint of Xinjiang tourism transportation of different modes, and inaccordance with the results, from the practical point, proposed suggestions andcountermeasures to optimization of the travel modes of transport and tourist trafficlow-Carbonation focus for Xinjiang part.
