Abstract: The study of tourism carbon emissions is important in healthy and sustainable development of tourism.By building tourism carbon emission estimation model,Guilin tourism carbon emission is evalualed, and the decoupling relationship between tourism carbon emission and tourism economy analyzed.It is found that from 2000 to 2012,Guilin tourism carbon emissions is on the rise,the tourism per capita carbon emission trend is different from the tourism carbon emissions trend.The decoupling relationship between carbon emissions in tourism sector and tourism economy is mainly a weak decoupling.Accordingly,some effective policies are put forward for a strong decoupling relationshi pbetween carbon emissions in tourism sector and tourism economy, by changing the energy consumption structure,strengthening the tourism carbon emission management,and en-forcing low-carbon technologies.
