1 INTRODUCTION The tourism sector contributed to around 4% of the world's GDP (or roughly $3.4 trillion in 2019). On the negative side, around 5% of carbon dioxide emissions emanates from travel-related activities (UNWTO, 2019). The inherent nature and characteristics of the tourism industry thus may have undesired repercussions on our soil, oceans, and other natural resources (Briassoulis, 2002; UNEP, 2015).
