For developed countries the following figures have been found: Domestic trips in the EU have been estimated at 510 million per year (Peeters et al. 2007),.The US domestic market is much larger at 1.2 billion domestic trips (WTO 2005). Another report using a broader definition even shows a stable figure of around 2 (!) billion person trips per year for the years 2006 -2012 of which around 25 % for business and 75 % for leisure purposes (Shifflet et al 2008),.Other developed regions add rather small domestic tourist trip numbers, for instance 72 million overnight tourists in Australia in 2005. But if the same-day visitors are included it results in a total of 200 million visitor numbers (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2007).The assumption is thus that the remaining developed world (excluding the EU and USA) may account for 250 million domestic tourist trips....

...continue to welcome people from inland China. Located in the South China Sea and separated from the mainland by the 24-km Qiongzhou Strait, Hainan is 33 920 km2 in area with a population of about 7.79 million people in 2002, comprising 1.34 million (17.2 per cent) ethnic minorities.(Kai Gu, Geoffrey Wall, 2) To most Chinese, Hainan Island is a paradise which is unaffected by pollution yielded from heavy industry; it is also a wonderful place to spend the long, freezing winter of people from northern China. The fresh air, the moderate climate, the brightly shiny white beach, the natural formed hot spring, the clear seawater with colorful marine organisms and the abundant tropical plants and fruits are all the tourism resources attracting tourists year after year since ancient dynasties of China. However, with the restriction of inconvenient transportation and unopened policies of old time Chinese government, the mass tourism with foreign visitors had never formed. With the new policy declared, government will definitely put immense fund to pump up the foreigner-focused tourism industry, but how will the policy influence Hainan? This paper seeks to answer this question in the context of whether people residing on Hainan Island are going to benefit from the “opening-up” policies. Base on the social, economic, and environmental changes which the island has experienced, is experiencing and will experience, there are three possible...

...tourism now accounts for more than 60% of air travel and is therefore responsible for an important share of air emissions. One study estimated that a single transatlantic return flight emits almost half the CO2 emissions produced by all other sources (lighting, heating, car use, etc.) consumed by an average person yearly. (Mayer Hillman, Town & Country Planning magazine, September 1996. Source: MFOE ). Transport emissions and emissions from energy production and use are linked to acid rain, global warming and photochemical pollution. Air pollution from tourist transportation has impacts on the global level, especially from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions related to transportation energy use. And it can contribute to severe local air pollution. Some of these impacts are quite specific to tourist activities. For example, especially in very hot or cold countries, tour buses often leave their motors running for hours while the tourists go out for an excursion because they want to return to a comfortably air-conditioned bus. Noise pollution from airplanes, cars, and buses, as well as recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles and jet skis, is an ever-growing problem of modern life. In addition to causing annoyance, stress, and even hearing loss for it humans, it causes distress to wildlife, especially in sensitive areas. For instance, noise generated by snowmobiles can cause...
