Carbon Footprint Monitoring and Management System for Tourism

Tourism is vital to Vietnam’s economy but also a source of significant carbon emissions. This project will create a Carbon Footprint Monitoring and Management System that helps businesses, policymakers and tourists understand and manage environmental impacts. By combining AI technology, carbon accounting methods with business management tools, the system affords practical solutions for measuring and reducing emissions while supporting green growth in Vietnam’s tourism industry. The project will also develop a carbon footprint framework adapted to Vietnam’s tourism industry.

– Develop a tourism-focused carbon footprint management framework by adapting carbon footprinting and/or life cycle assessment methods to capture emissions from tourism stakeholders;
– Create tools for translating, collecting and analyzing carbon accounting results via a digital platform powered by IoT and AI capabilities that businesses and other stakeholders can use to track carbon management performance; and
– Conduct pilot testing in collaboration with tourism stakeholders to validate usability and impact.
