AI Article Synopsis
- - An analysis of tourism in the Tremiti Islands (TI) highlights that high tourist activity, especially in August, leads to significant territorial exploitation, with many arrivals but low occupancy rates.
- - The study addresses the impact of climate change on the islands, noting rising air and sea temperatures, and proposes measures to promote sustainable tourism.
- - A calculation of CO emissions from ferry transport and waste management is included, along with a proposed environmental tax of 1.47 €/capita aimed at reducing CO emissions, which could be positively received if funds are used for environmental initiatives.
Article Abstract
An analysis of the pressure factors that influence the sustainable tourism in the Tremiti Islands (TI) has been performed. Tourist's fluxes have been investigated in terms of monthly arrival and presences showing a high value of the territorial exploitation index with high number of arrivals, particularly in August, and low occupancy rate. Effects of climatic change has been analyzed in TI with reference to the increase of average air and sea temperature in the islands. Some measures of contrast to climate change and to favour sustainable tourism have been discussed also. The CO emissions by ferries transport, solid waste and wastewater treatment have been calculated. Environmental taxation for sustainable tourism aimed tat CO content reduction is also assessed identifying the value in 1.47 €/capita on the basis of the tourist arrivals and presences considering the environmental cost for CO removal and showing that tourism taxation should be well accepted if funds are destined to environmental purposes.
