Schätzung der CO2-Emissionen des europäischen Städtetourismus - Wien im internationalen Vergleich

This project seeks to assess the travel-induced CO2 emissions of Vienna more accurately. In doing so, a novel measure of travel-induced CO2 emissions originating from total tourist arrivals to the city is employed. The novelties of this measure relate to the inclusion of Vienna's source-market-specific characteristics such as travel distance between source market and destination, modal split, and average number of European city destinations visited per trip. This new measure also allows for changes in the city's guest mix structure as well as source-market specific lengths of stay over time. In a second step, the estimated travel-induced CO2 emissions of Vienna are benchmarked against its major European competitors.
