“There are too many questions and not enough answers,” said Susanne Becken, referring to the future of tourism. One of these unanswered questions, according to Professor of Sustainable Tourism at Griffith University, Australia, is: How can tourism become carbon neutral? In its contribution to this year’s World Travel Market (WTM) Responsible Tourism Day in early November, Becken pointed to the growth in global tourism of almost 5 percent. According to the UNWTO, more than 1.23 billion cross-border travel arrivals were counted worldwide in 2016. For comparison, in 1950 it was 25 million. This growth is accompanied by a huge increase in the carbon footprint of the industry. At the same time, the direction of the march should go in the opposite direction, according to the Paris Climate Agreement. –  Tourism Watch (translated from German)
