Abstract

The aim of this article is to assess the effect of the interaction between renewable energy consumption, GDP per capita, and CO2 emissions on the attractiveness of tourist destinations in sub-Saharan Africa over the period 1995-2019. A panel data model covering 29 countries shows that an increase in renewable energy consumption is positively associated with an increase in tourist attractions. They also reveal that the interaction between renewable energy consumption, GDP per capita, and CO2 emissions has positive and significant effects on the attractiveness of tourist destinations. We propose inclusive development policies aligned with climate goals (SDG 13), while calling on SSA countries to strengthen regional coordination around a shared vision of sustainable development, particularly through green tourism initiatives based on renewable energy (SDG 7).
