Abstract

The increase in touristsʼ mobility in destinations is associated with a increase in traffic externalities. Road transport externalities have been present both in the literature and on the policy agenda for many countries. However, for a tourist economy, the role of such externalities has not been analyzed in depth. This study aims at relating air pollution with the road transport induced by tourism activity. Results show how different levels of pollution can be associated to the daily stock of people, whose main source of variability lies in the tourism level.
