Abstract

The analysis of carbon footprint plays an important role in the management of tourism scenic spots. This paper first introduced the calculation method of carbon footprint and ecological efficiency value of tourism scenic spots, then analyzed the general situation of tourism scenic spots in Jiangsu province and collected the data of 2013–17 to calculate the carbon footprint and ecological efficiency value. The results showed that the carbon footprint of tourism scenic spots in Jiangsu province was increasing year by year, of which the traffic carbon footprint accounted for the largest proportion, 60%. The value of ecological benefits of accommodation was the largest, followed by catering, activities and transportation, and accommodation created the highest economic benefits. According to the calculation results, some suggestions were put forward for the ecological efficiency management of tourism scenic spots in Jiangsu province, which is conducive to the better development of tourism scenic spots.
