Abstract: This study examines the asymmetric relationship between tourism and carbon emissions using cross-quantilogram approach in Taiwan. The results reveal that tourism has a positive impact on reducing carbon emissions at both low and high quantiles, with inbound tourism showing a promoting effect on high quantiles of carbon emissions. The short-term impact of tourism on carbon emissions is found to be more significant. Importantly, the influence of tourism on carbon emissions is significant and independent of economic development or energy consumption. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers to understand the complex dynamics between the tourism industry and carbon emissions and highlight the importance of sustainable strategies to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental sustainability in the tourism sector.
