Methodology for Environmental Information Disclosure of Journey - Application of Environmental Label and Carbon Footprint

本研究旨在发展一种估算包价旅游碳足迹的二氧化碳排放量方法。为了计算，包价旅游的组成部分被归类为“旅程”、“住宿”、“餐饮”和“休闲”。特别是，本研究以“旅程”类别为重点，以包价旅游的主要运输方式：巴士、火车、航空运输和轮船为例，估算其二氧化碳排放因子。这些因素是根据客运量、车辆大小和城乡差异计算的。该方法与CO_2排放因子相结合，可以估算包价旅游的CO_2排放量，并分析各旅游成分的影响趋势。此外，本研究还估计了CO_2排放量如何随运输系统的增加或减少而增加或减少。结果表明，在各旅游要素中，“旅程”排放的CO_2贡献最大。最后，提出了一种旅游碳足迹的显示方法。

This study aims to develop a method for estimating CO_2 emissions for carbon footprinting of package tours. For the calculation, the components of a package tour are categorized into “journey,” “accommodation,” “meals,” and “leisure.” In particular, this study focuses on the “journey” category and estimates the CO_2 emission factors with the major transport modes employed in package tours: bus, train, air transport, and ship. These factors are calculated on the basis of the number of passengers, vehicle sizes, and difference between urban and rural areas. This approach along with the CO_2 emission factors enables estimating the CO_2 emissions of package tours and analyzing the influence trends of each tour component. In addition, this study also estimates how CO_2 emissions increase or decrease with transport system. It is clarified that among the tour components, CO_2 emissions from “journey” contribute the greatest. Finally, a display method for carbon footprinting of the tours is proposed.
