Abstract

El sector del turismo genera emisiones de GEI a la atmósfera impactando al cambio climático, y a su vez, es considerado como un sector altamente vulnerable a los efectos del cambio climático. A través de este estudio, se realiza una estimación de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero generadas por las actividades asociadas al turismo en Bolivia durante la gestión 2019, con el fin de contar con una línea de base y un diagnóstico que permita identificar oportunidades y acciones de mejora para todos los actores involucrados (hoteles, agencias de viaje, turistas, proveedores de servicios, etc.). Los resultados muestran que en la gestión 2019 se habrían generado 338.008 ton CO2eq, emisiones que equivalen a las emisiones que se generan por la deforestación de 749 hectáreas de bosque primario húmedo en Bolivia. La principal fuente de emisión es el transporte aéreo con el 63%, seguido de las emisiones por transporte terrestre con el 22%, las estadías en hoteles, residenciales y alojamientos con el 8%, la alimentación con el 7%, y la generación de residuos con el 0,24%. En el documento se plantean acciones y lineamientos estratégicos de reducción a ser aplicados en distintos niveles y por diferentes actores.
