Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, turizmin ekolojik etkilerini Ekolojik Modernleşme Teorisi (EMT) merceğinden araştırmaktır. Çalışma, turizmin gelişiminin, ekonomik büyümenin, yeşil inovasyonun ve hükümet etkinliğinin çevreyi nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir. Sonuçlar, Artırılmış Ortalama Grubuna (AMG) göre hem turizm büyümesinin hem de ekonomik genişlemenin çevre üzerinde olumsuz bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koydu. Buna karşılık, yeşil yenilik ve hükümet etkinliğinin olumlu etkileri vardır. Çalışma ayrıca ülkeye özgü katsayı tahminleri de sunmaktadır. Ampirik sonuçlar EMT’nin panel boyunca ve özellikle Almanya, Fransa, Birleşik Krallık ve Rusya için geçerliliğini desteklemektedir.

Journey to Discover the Footprint of Tourism from the Perspective of Ecological Modernization

Abstract

This research aims to investigate tourism's environmental impacts through the lens of Ecological Modernization Theory (EMT). The study examines how tourism development, economic growth, green innovation, and government effectiveness affect the environment. According to the Augmented Mean Group (AMG), the results revealed that tourism growth and economic expansion negatively impact the environment. In contrast, green innovation and government effectiveness have positive effects. The study also provides country-specific coefficient estimates. The empirical results support the validity of the EMT across the panel, specifically for Germany, France, the UK, and Russia.
