The journeys towards and within the destination, e.g. by plane or car and the related increase in energy use, result in CO2 emissions and air pollution, which contribute immensely to climate change
Regarding the volume of emissions, the highest amount is exposed during the travel to and from the destination. However, air pollution caused by energy use and the increased volume of traffic on site also have to be regarded as very harmful as they affect ecologically sensitive areas in particular. The biological diversity of the area is threatened and forests, which play a very important role in the global context as carbon sinks, will be severely damaged.
