Abstract

Driven by global digital transformation, this study investigates the impact and regional heterogeneity of digital technology on tourism carbon emission intensity using panel data from 30 provinces (2011-2022). A composite digital technology index is constructed via the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method, and tourism carbon intensity is measured using the energy stripping approach. The empirical analysis reveals that digital technology significantly reduces carbon emission intensity in tourism, with a U-shaped nonlinear relationship observed. The effect is more pronounced in eastern and western regions, while the central region exhibits a relatively weaker effect. Robustness checks, including lag models and sample exclusions, confirm the reliability of these findings. The study concludes that digital technology plays a vital role in promoting low-carbon transformation by reallocating production factors, enhancing management efficiency, and enabling intelligent industrial upgrading.
