Thesis Abstract
Abstract
The vacation and travel industry has significant environmental impacts through activities like transportation of tourists, construction of resorts and hotels, and provision of amenities and services. This project aims to analyze and compare the environmental footprint of different practices within the vacation and travel sector. Key areas that will be examined include transportation emissions from air travel, cruise ships, and rental cars versus other modes; energy and water usage at hotels and resorts with different certification standards; waste generation and management practices at tourist destinations; and impacts of activities like cruises, ecotourism, and adventure tourism. The goal is to identify practices with lower environmental impacts that can help green the vacation and travel industry.
