Abstract
The aim of the study is to present low-carbon footprint practices that can help reduce the carbon footprint in tourist destinations. Carbon footprint is thus proposed as an innovative means of sustainable tourism to combat climate change. The study relied on a quantitative and qualitative approach, where a questionnaire was used as a data collection tool, and 414 questionnaires were randomly distributed to tourists in Hurghada. Only 400 questionnaires were retrieved and are valid for statistical analysis, and the response rate reached
96.6 percent. Interviews with HEPCA and EEAA representatives revealed that they support several low carbon footprint practices including encouraging volunteer activities, cooperation and partnerships between key players in the region to preserve the tourist destination. The study concluded that carbon footprint practices are important to make Hurghada an environmentally friendly destination with low carbon emissions. They also positively influence tourists’ choice of destination.
