Abstract
ABSTRACT Tourism drives global economic growth and cultural exchange, but also raises climate vulnerability and forest fire concerns. This study explores the relationship between tourism and forest fires in emerging and advanced economies, aligned with UN's SDGs. Using ARDL model, findings show that a 1% increase in tourism development leads to 1% & 0.575% surge in forest fires in advanced and emerging economies respectively. In the short run, tourism leads to a decrease in forest fires in emerging economies, while in long-run risks increases for both panels of economies. This emphasises the need for eco-friendly practices for sustainable tourism. Governments should prioritise eco-tourism, green infrastructure, and SDG-13, SDG-9, SDG-11 for climate action, tech and sustainable transport.
