Abstract

Low-carbon mode is the inevitable choose for tourism development, while seldom work has linked to low-carbon tourism planning. This article aims to propose a framework to low-carbon tourism planning. Firstly, the low-carbon tourism system with energy cosumption subsystem,waste emission subsystem, and four elements is proposed. Based on the direct and indirect carbon emission analysis, a low-carbon tourism planning framework with five subsystems is developed. The low-carbon tourism planning framework can be used to any region that wants to develop low-carbon tourism, especially to those places which have natural scenic and fragile ecosystem.
