Abstract

In recent years, low-carbon tourism has become an important approach to deal with environmental problems in tourism. While the cognition and willingness of tourists is crucial for the development of low-carbon tourism, their environmental awareness may affect their cognition and willingness. Through the methods of literature analysis and questionnaire survey, we collected the relevant information about Bijie residents' low-carbon tourism cognition, demographic characteristics and other possible influencing factors, and then made statistical analyses with the data. The results showed that Bijie residents lack enough understanding about low-carbon tourism, and there are differences in their cognition of different aspects of low-carbon tourism. Many factors have influenced the cognition of low-carbon tourism. Firstly, residents have a high level of cognition of low-carbon transportation and accommodation. In terms of low-carbon catering and shopping, residents show various levels of cognition on different items. Secondly, gender and age have significant effects on Bijie residents' understanding of low-carbon tourism. Thirdly, the higher the residents' awareness of carbon reduction in daily life, the more they understand the two major elements of tourism carbon emission, namely transportation and accommodation. The tourism industry and relevant government departments should take positive measures to enhance residents' environmental awareness, so as to improve residents' awareness and participation in low-carbon tourism.
