Abstract

As the global climate change problem becomes more and more serious, governments and organizations are actively responding to it and promoting the realization of environmental protection goals such as "carbon neutrality" and "peak carbon". As a significant component of the national economy, tourism is also subject to the pressures and challenges of transformation and upgrading. On the one hand, the rapid development of the tourism industry is increasing demand for resources and the environment. On the other hand, as a high-carbon emission industry, its role in promoting the realization of the "dual-carbon" goal should not be underestimated. The present paper is based on an exploration and construction of an effective incentive mechanism to promote the low-carbon development of the tourism industry in the context of the dual-carbon goal. A comprehensive examination of the pivotal factors influencing tourists' low-carbon behavior is imperative. This analysis should form the foundation for the conceptualization of an incentive mechanism that has the potential to galvanize the enthusiasm of tourists and tourism enterprises. The objective of this initiative is twofold: firstly, to achieve low-carbon tourism activities, and secondly, to promote the sustainable development of the tourism industry.
