Resumo: | Tourism is a socio-economic activity of great importance for coastal tourist destinations, but when not developed on a sustainable basis, it can contribute to ongoing climate change by increasing the sector's carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint. Cajueiro da Praia (PI) is an emerging coastal destination in the state of Piauí, with a growing flow of domestic and international visitors, and without proper monitoring of CO2 emissions produced by the floating population. Thus, this article aimed to estimate the direct CO2 footprint of tourism in that destination, with emphasis on the transport and accommodation sectors (electricity consumption). The proposed methodology was based on the application of structured interviews with visitors and managers of lodging facilities to collect primary data, and on the use of internationally recognized conversion factors to estimate the CO2 footprint. The results pointed to the predominance of the use of road transport (93.79%), mainly own cars (61.8%), to reach the investigated destination, these accounted for 35.14% (4,166.43 KgCO2) of the carbon footprint of transport in the municipality. Despite air transport being used by 6% of visitors, given the significant carbon footprint of aviation, it accounted for 58.75% (6,966.61 KgCO2) of total CO2 emissions in the transport category. Regarding the consumption of electricity in the accommodation facilities, a daily consumption per room of 41,68 kWh was recorded, with a carbon footprint of 143,40 KgCO2, mainly derived from the use of air conditioning equipment and electric showers. With this, it was observed that the carbon footprint of tourism in the city of Cajueiro da Praia (PI) can be minimized through the adoption of educational, managerial and technological actions to promote mobility and accommodation on a sustainable basis. |

Cajueiro da Praia (PI) é um emergente destino costeiro do estado do Piauí, com fluxo crescente de visitantes domésticos e internacionais, e sem o devido monitoramento das emissões de CO2 produzidas pela população flutuante. Assim, este artigo objetivou estimar a pegada de CO2 direta do turismo no referido destino, com ênfase nos setores de transporte e meios de hospedagem (consumo de energia elétrica). A metodologia proposta baseou-se na aplicação de entrevistas estruturadas com visitantes e gestores dos meios de hospedagem para coleta de dados primários, e no emprego de fatores de conversão reconhecidos internacionalmente para a estimativa da pegada de CO2. Os resultados apontaram a predominância do uso de transportes rodoviários (93,79%), principalmente automóveis próprios (61,8%), para chegar ao destino investigado, estes responderam por 35,14% (4.166,43 KgCO2) da pegada de carbono dos transportes no munícipio. A despeito do transporte aéreo ter sido utilizado por 6% dos visitantes, dado a significativa pegada de carbono da aviação, este respondeu por 58,75% (6.966,61 KgCO2) das emissões totais de CO2 da categoria transporte. Em relação ao consumo de energia elétrica nos meios de hospedagem, registrou-se o consumo diário por UH de 41,68 kWh, com a pegada de carbono em 143,40 KgCO2, derivado sobretudo dos usos de aparelhos de ar-condicionado e chuveiro elétrico. Com isso, observou-se que a pegada de carbono do turismo na cidade de Cajueiro da Praia (PI), pode ser minimizada através da adoção de ações educativas, gerenciais e tecnológicas para promover a mobilidade e a hospedagem em bases sustentáveis.Universidade Federal de São Paulo2023-05-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/1391010.34024/rbecotur.2023.v16.13910Brazilian Journal of Ecotourism; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2023): maio-julho/2023Revista Brasileña de Ecoturismo; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2023): maio-julho/2023Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur); v. 16 n. 2 (2023): maio-julho/20231983-9391reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismoinstname:Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)instacron:SBECOTURporhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/13910/10673Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMelo, Rodrigo de SousaGomes, Tércia da SilvaSantos, Naellen Costa dosVeras, Anna Rachel dos SantosLins, Ruceline Paiva Melo2023-05-29T22:06:38Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/13910Revistahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/indexPUBhttp://www.sbecotur.org.br/rbecotur/seer/index.php/ecoturismo/oai||zneiman@gmail.com1983-93911983-9391opendoar:2023-05-29T22:06:38Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo - Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)false |
