Tourism in net-zero cities

This study aims to strengthen the nexus between urban tourism and net-zero city planning by focusing on tourists and tourism operators as stakeholders of cities’ decarbonization agendas. The existence of seasonal tourism flows poses challenges to the targeted provisioning systems of local governments and in the same time climate policies will likely affect the tourism demand of destinations. Given the importance of tourism for local economies, a conceptual framework is proposed to support a research agenda towards the co-implementation of tourism and net-zero policies.
