This research analyzed the impact of environmental regulations and their power in suppressing tourism carbon emissions. The results showed that: (1) four types of environmental regulations had significant inhibiting effects on tourism carbon emissions, but different types of regulations had varying effects; and (2) environmental regulations had a significant time lag effect on tourism carbon emissions. The decay rates of the environmental regulation effects were dissimilar for supervisory management, market incentives, command and control, and public participation; and (3) environmental regulations had dissimilar influences on tourism carbon emissions at the regional level. Government agencies should choose differentiated environmental regulation tools, attach great importance to the time-lag effect of environmental regulations on tourism carbon emissions, and establish systems and mechanisms of public participation in environmental matters.
本研究分析了环境规制及其减排效力对旅游碳排放的影响。结果表明:(1)四类环境规制均对旅游碳排放有显著的抑制作用,但规制类型的不同导致抑制效果存在差异;(2)环境规制对旅游碳排放存在显著的时滞效应,且监管管理、市场激励、命令控制和公众参与四类环境规制工具的衰减率存在差异;(3)环境规制对旅游碳排放的影响在区域层面存在差异。政府部门应选择差异化的环境规制工具,重视环境规制对旅游碳排放的时滞效应,建立公众参与环境事务的制度和机制。
