Tourism emissions are growing.
Hotspots can be analysed from two perspectives: which countries are most responsible for the growth and which sectors are most contributing to that growth.

From the country perspective, the sheer population size and rapid demand for tourism place the USA, China, and India in the top three. Together, just these three countries alone account for 60% of tourism emissions growth.
The top three sources of emissions come from aviation, utilities, and personal private vehicle use. Together, they account for 54% of tourism emissions growth.
