Another reason is economic: the tourism industry is susceptible to changes in oil prices that have a ripple effect on productivity and growth (Day and Cai, 2012). Thus tourism firms need to take steps to reduce the impact of their activities on the environment and
Study 2 also proved that construal level mediated the influence of awe on tourism activity preferences. In comparison to the study conducted by Liu et al. (2024), our research demonstrates that besides external environmental factors such as social crowding, internal awe emotions can also drive tourists'' preferences for tourism activities.
The answer is a lot. This is because global tourism is really big business. According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), tourist spending swelled from only $2 billion in 1950 to $1.2 trillion in 2015. The number of international tourists has grown by orders of magnitude as well, from 25 million travelled in 1950 to 1.2 billion in 2015.

Physical activity increases people''s total energy expenditure, which can help them stay in energy balance or even lose weight, as long as they don''t eat more to compensate for the extra calories they burn. Physical activity decreases fat around the waist and total body fat, slowing the development of abdominal obesity.
Here we outline the complexities of overtourism and the possible measures that can be taken to address the problem. The term ''overtourism'' has re-emerged as tourism recovery has surged around the globe. But already in 2019, angst over excessive tourism growth was so high that the UN World Tourism Organization called …
As we embark on new adventures in foreign countries it''s important to realize what environmental impacts our presence poses to local ecosystems and resources. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the three negative environmental impacts of tourism are: the depletion of natural resources, pollution and …

Sugarcane is the most energy efficient perennial C4 plant and can convert 6–7% of solar energy into biomass (Tew and Cobill, 2008). The sugarcane biomass yield under optimal field conditions is significantly higher than that of other high biomass yielding crops, such as switchgrass or miscanthus (Byrt et al., 2011; Waclawovsky et al., 2010).
Circular economy in the energy industry focuses on the optimization of 3 basic aspects: Energy consumption by the final recipient – relation and communication with the client. Energy is of critical importance for tourism. Also, it is a special concern for off-grid facilities when it comes to Energy supply, use and efficiency.
Introduction. The energy demand increases in proportion to exercise intensity, and energy supply is often a critical factor for performance.
