Assesing Carbon Footprint of Ecotourism Site in Indonesia

---

Sustainable ecotourism has been one of Indonesia's initiatives to considerably limit climate
change by lowering carbon footprint (CFP) while influencing economic growth and
development. In Bogor, Indonesia, PT Intidaya Agrolestari (INAGRO) is an example of a
sustainable ecotourism destination. INAGRO focuses itself as a cultural and educational
ecotourism site and aims to spread sustainable practices. This study aims to calculate and
quantify the number of direct and indirect CFP emitted by INAGRO, as well as the quantity
of carbon sequestered by the site; this would help identify areas of improvement that could
help reduce the carbon emission in INAGRO, and offer solutions that could helped create a
zero carbon emission tourism in INAGRO. Based on the calculation, the study will give some
recommendations to reduce carbon emission. The bottom-up technique will be utilized to
collect CFP input data for the four core ecotourism services (Accommodation, Food &
Drinks, Activity & Service, and Mobility & Transfer). As a complement, further carbon
sequestration measurements were undertaken, accounting for plantations. INAGRO was
judged to be a net carbon sink ecotourism destination based on calculations. INAGRO is a
low-carbon emitter, producing just 340,94 tCO₂ per year. However, the number of emissions
is significantly less than the amount of carbon absorbed by INAGRO each year, which
amounts to 8771,90 tCO₂, giving INAGRO a net carbon sink of 8430,85 tCO₂. Accounting
for the CFP distribution, relevant strategies such as changing their operational vehicle from
fuel based, to a hybrid or electrical vehicle could be implemented in INAGRO to reduce
carbon emissions.
