Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between tourism, renewable energy, GDP and CO2 for Turkey. To this aim, the effect of tourism, renewable energy, and GDP on CO2 was examined. Additionally, the impact of renewable energy, GDP, and CO2 on tourism was searched. According to the results obtained from the FMOLS method, while renewable energy reduces CO2 emission, developments in the tourism sector do not have a statistically significant effect on CO2. Besides, GDP positively affects CO2 emissions and tourism sector. On the other hand, there isn't a significant effect of CO2 on tourism. Therefore, it can be said that policies incentivizing the tourism will not adversely affect the environment. Also it can be stated that tourists don’t consider the environmental quality during their country trips.

YENİLENEBİLİR ENERJİ, TURİZM, CO2 VE GSYH İLİŞKİSİNİN TÜRKİYE İÇİN ANALİZİ

Abstract

Turizm dünya genelinde gelişen bir sektör olup ülke ekonomisi açısından önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ancak turizm sektöründeki gelişme ile fosil yakıt tüketimi ve dolayısıyla CO2 emisyonu artabilecektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı turizm, yenilenebilir enerji ve CO2 ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada Türkiye ekonomisi FMOLS yöntemi ve Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik testi ile analiz edilmiştir. FMOLS yönteminden elde edilen sonuçlara göre yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi CO2 emisyonunu azaltırken turizm sektöründeki gelişmeler CO2 üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahip değildir. GSYİH’daki artış ise CO2 emisyonunu artırmaktadır. Nedensellik analizi sonucunda ise, CO2 emisyonundan turizme doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca turizmden GSYİH’ya doğru nedensellik belirlenmiştir. Yenilenebilir enerji ve turizm arasında ise bir ilişkisi tespit edilememiştir. Böylece turizmi teşvik edici politikaların çevreye olumsuz şekilde yansımasının söz konusu olmayacağını söyleyebiliriz. Ayrıca turistlerin çevre kirliliğini önemsedikleri ifade edilebilir. Turizm sektörüne yönelik yatırımlarda yenilenebilir enerjiye yer verilmesi de turist sayısını etkilemeyecektir.
