Emissions of NOx from use of fossil fuels for transport purposes
Travellers by place of residence
Travellers by main destination
No. of tourists and passenger-km travelled for tourism purposes, by type of transport
Total no. of passengers and passenger-km by type of transport
For calculations of part due to tourism: 1.8 data are preferred. Through division with total passenger-km by type of transport a coefficient for estimation of emissions caused by tourism can be calculated. No. of tourists by type of transport divided by total no. of passengers by the same transport is one alternative. As other alternatives distance travelled by means of transport could by calculated from 1.3 or 1.4 data. Further work will be necessary to suggest suitable methods of calculation.
