On the other hand, flying accounts for less than 5% of global CO2 emissions. Enviro-tourism arguably helps reduce the other 95%.


that'd be great if it were true, but i'm skeptical.

Even ignoring the CO2 produced by flying, what evidence is there that enviro-tourism itself reduces CO2 emissions?


Well, the stats are true and available online.

I admittedly lack evidence on the enviro-tourism aspect, but it seems logical that tourists from heavily industrialized 3rd world countries return with some desire to improve their home environment.
