Constructing an Evaluation Index System for China’s Low-Carbon Tourism Region—An Example from the Daxinganling Region

With the intensification of global warming, the development of low-carbon tourism is not only an inevitable requirement for human development, but also an important way to enhance tourism, improve the quality of tourism, and obtain greater economic and social benefits from tourism. Scientifically an...
