| Abstract: |
This research investigates the multifaceted relationship between tourism,
economic growth, and carbon emissions in Madagascar. Regression analyses were
conducted to examine the impact of tourism receipts on economic growth and
tourist arrivals on CO2 levels. The results indicate a significant positive
association between tourism and economic growth, highlighting the sector’s
pivotal role in driving Madagascar’s economy. Conversely, tourist arrivals
were found to contribute to increased carbon emissions, emphasizing the need
for sustainable tourism practices to mitigate environmental impacts.
Additionally, recommendations are provided for enhancing road infrastructure,
promoting ecotourism, diversifying touristic offerings, digitizing tourism
services, promoting environmental sustainability, investing in continuous
training for tourism personnel, and fostering public-private partnerships to
stimulate further development in Madagascar’s tourism sector. |
