Low-carbon tourism approach as an alternative form for tourism development: a review for model development

The tourism industry is a major contributor to the gross domestic product of several countries, including Malaysia. However, recent tourism growth has led to increase the industry’s carbon dioxide (CO2). Low-carbon tourism, therefore, needs to be introduced to the sector to help curb global climate...
