住宿业作为旅游业的主要用能部门之一,其碳减排成为应对全球气候变化的一个重要部分,日益受到学术界重视。通过梳理和总结国内外相关文献,可以看出:国内外住宿业碳排放的研究内容集中在住宿业直接和间接用能碳排放的计算、碳减排影响因素、碳减排措施等方面;研究方法以定量的居多,各种统计分析法都有所涉及,国内住宿业碳排放的研究比国外相对滞后。总体上学术界对住宿业碳排放的研究内容由浅入深,研究方法由简单到复杂,为住宿业的节能减排提供了科学依据,也为低碳旅游发展研究奠定了基础。
Accommodation industry is one of the major energy-consuming sectors of the tourism industry. Re- duction of carbon emission in accommodation industry has become an important part of the countermeasures to global climate change, and is increasingly getting attentions from the academia. In this paper, by combing through and summarizing the relevant literature at home and abroad, we found that studies of carbon emissions in accommodation industry have been centered around the topics such as the estimations of carbon emissions through direct and indirect energy consumptions, the factors impacting carbon emission, the steps to reduce car- bon emissions, and so on. The majority of the research methods are quantitative, involving a variety of statistical analyses. The related studies in China have lagged behind in comparison to the ones abroad. Overall, the re- search topics on carbon emissions in accommodation industry have changed from superficial to in-depth, and the research methods from simple to complex. The research has provided a scientific basis for energy conserva- tion and emission reduction in accommodation industry, and has laid a foundation for the research on low-car- bon tourism development.
