Abstract
The world experiences an increase in greenhouse gas emissions linked to human activities such as information and communication technology (ICT) and tourism activities. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of ICT and inbound tourism demand on greenhouse gas emissions in South Africa. The study involved annual time series data (1989-2020), and this data was analysed using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and Granger causality models. The empirical results indicate that a 1% increase in inbound tourism demand causes the level of greenhouse gas emissions to increase by 0.52% in the long-run, but inbound tourism demand has no short-run effect on greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, ICT only has a short-run effect on greenhouse gas emissions. The results also show that there is a unidirectional causal relationship between greenhouse gas emissions to ICT and inbound tourism demand.
期刊介绍：
GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites is a scientific publication, with an international status. The Journal is issued under the aegis of the University of Oradea, Department of Geography, Tourism and Territorial Planning, Territorial Studies and Analysis Centre (Romania) and the Academy of Physical Education and Sports from Gdańsk, Faculty of Tourism and Recreation (Poland). At the initiative of an international group of specialists, based on an editorial and scientific committee with a wide international coverage, including leading figures in the field, in 2008 was published the first English issue of the GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites. The printable format (2-3 issues per year) is supported by the on-line version. The journal aims to publish relevant contributions in tourism, geosites and other areas whose analysis is related to these fields, standing out through originality and scientific contribution to the knowledge and development of this area. An important objective is to promote academic and applied research based on interdisciplinarity with a complex local and global approach.
