Abstract
There is no social sector alien to the reality of climate change while there many economic activities spearhead initiatives to know, reduce or neutralize greenhouse gas emissions. Tourist is one of the most sensitivity sectors because of, on the one hand, its environmental and territorial dependence and, on the other one, its own greenhouse gas emissions. In the present work this bi-directional relationship is analyzed, quantifying its economic terms and calculating cost of compensating greenhouse gas emissions from tourism activity. Results highlight the sensitivity of tourism sector from obligations arising from tourism activities greenhouse gas emissions compensation.
