Abstract
This research investigates the multifaceted relationship between tourism, economic growth, and carbon emis-sions in Madagascar. Regression analyses were con-ducted to examine the impact of tourism receipts on eco-nomic growth and tourist arrivals on CO2 levels. The re-sults indicate a significant positive association between tourism and economic growth, highlighting the sector’s pivotal role in driving Madagascar’s economy. Con-versely, tourist arrivals were found to contribute to in-creased carbon emissions, emphasizing the need for sus-tainable tourism practices to mitigate environmental im-pacts. Additionally, recommendations are provided for enhancing road infrastructure, promoting ecotourism, diversifying touristic offerings, digitizing tourism ser-vices, promoting environmental sustainability, investing in continuous training for tourism personnel, and foster-ing public-private partnerships to stimulate further de-velopment in Madagascar’s tourism sector.
