International Journal of Environmental Engineering (IJEE), Vol. 11, No. 3, 2022

Abstract: This study mainly analysed the dynamic change of carbon footprint of urban tourism transportation in Shandong Province from 2010 to 2019 and calculated the carbon footprint changes of the highway, railway, waterway, and civil aviation transport using the 'bottom-up' method. The results showed that the carbon footprints of the highway, railway, waterway, and civil aviation transport in Shandong Province were 9.58 × 10⁸ kg, 6.42 × 10⁸ kg, 0.34 × 10⁸ kg, and 19.21 × 10⁸ kg, respectively, with a total of 35.55 × 10⁸ kg. From 2010 to 2019, the carbon footprint of tourism transportation was growing. The results show that the carbon footprint of urban transportation in Shandong Province is growing rapidly; therefore, it is necessary to vigorously promote the concept of low-carbon tourism, promote low-carbon travel, and reasonably control the carbon footprint.
