Abstract

Carbon emissions have become a pressing global concern because of its contribution to climate change and environmental degradation. Given the urgency to tackle climate change, especially by reducing carbon emissions, this study focuses on Africa’s leading CO2 emitters from 2000 to 2020. The aims of the study are; to examine whether there is evidence of an energy-Kuznets Curve among the leading CO2 emitters in Africa, to examine whether there is evidence of an FDI-Kuznets Curve among the leading CO2 emitters in Africa, and to Identify the turning points. The study employs an innovative analysis of unbalanced panel data utilizing sophisticated econometric techniques, the contemporaneous correlation methodology, which are; the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS), and the panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) to uncover insights. The results reveal consistency across all employed techniques. The study confirms the existence of an Energy-Kuznets Curve among the leading CO2 emitters in Africa; it also finds evidence of a U-shaped relationship between foreign direct investment and carbon emissions among the leading CO2 emitters in Africa; finally, it also identifies crucial turning points at 2760.12kg and 2886.29kg of oil equivalent per capita for energy use and 6.89% and 6.17% for FDI inflow, respectively. By investigating the factors influencing carbon emissions and evaluating their impacts, our study offers valuable insights for policymakers. These findings can inform the development of targeted interventions to curb emissions intensity, enhance energy efficiency, and foster the adoption of renewable energy sources.

Abstract

Introduction: The length of stay of tourists is a very critical issue in the tourism and hospitality industries, including in the halal tourism sector. So, this study aims to find out and test the factors that affect the length of stay of Muslim tourists when traveling in halal tourism destinations by integrating Islamic attributes with push-pull motivation mediated by satisfaction. Method: The method used in this study is quantitative using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The population of this study is Muslim tourists who visit halal tourism destinations in Lombok with a sample of 171 respondents. Results: Islamic attributes such as Islamic facilities, alcohol and gambling-free, and Islamic morality have a direct effect on length of stay, while halalness affects the length of stay mediated by satisfaction. Push and pull motivations have a positive effect on the length of stay. Finally, the length of stay is also affected by satisfaction. Conclusion and suggestion: Islamic attributes and motivation as well as satisfaction greatly affect the length of stay of Muslim tourists when traveling at halal tourism destinations. The findings of this study are very important and can serve as a crucial guide for businesses and governments to present the various needs and attributes of Muslim tourists so that they feel satisfied and willing to stay longer in halal tourism destinations.
