If you travel to the nearest state or a neighboring state by car, the CO\u2082 balance accounts for a relatively small proportion of the overall balance. For long-distance destinations, on the other hand, the journey to and from the destination accounts for the largest part and the carbon footprint quickly becomes much larger.<\/p>\n<p>According to tour operators, carbon footprint issues are not yet having a noticeable impact on travel behavior. The golfer has a desire to play courses he does not know yet. On the other hand, air travel doesn&#8217;t have the best reputation when it comes to CO\u2082 emissions, and the Gulf cruise isn&#8217;t really a gift for the environment either. On the other hand, even small measures can save emissions. A 5-star hotel with large rooms, spa and fitness room has a significantly higher footprint than a guesthouse or vacation apartment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seefeld or Mauritius? <\/strong><br \/>\nAn overview with practical examples calculated with four different starting points (Munich, Hamburg, Vienna, Zurich) and three destinations (Seefeld in Tyrol, Mallorca and Mauritius) using the TU Graz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fussabdrucksrechner.at\/de\/calculation\/tourism\/5\">CO2 calculator<\/a>. This is the only one of all calculations known to us that also contains a round of golf as a value. Unfortunately, Graz University of Technology did not respond to several inquiries as to the exact points that make up the value for this round of golf.<br \/>\nThe results of the trips to different destinations are broken down into five categories (arrival and departure, local mobility, accommodation, meals and golf).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14993\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-1030x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-1030x1024.png 929w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-300x298.png 300w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-768x763.png 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-1500x1491.png 930w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1-705x701.png 705w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CO2-Rechner-Urlaub_Grafik-Gesamtbilanz-Flug-nach-Startpunkt2-1.png 1917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Arrival and departure<\/strong><br \/>\nTwo examples illustrate very well how different arrivals and departures affect CO\u2082 values:<br \/>\nEmissions from a five-day vacation for two people: <strong>Travel by car (petrol) from Vienna to Seefeld<\/strong>. Five nights in a 5-star hotel and four rounds of golf per person. Within the city, 50 km are covered daily. Footprint per person: 915.4 kg CO\u2082 (accommodation 415.7 kg, meals 10.6 kg, golf 199.6 kg, outward and return journey 231.6 kg and local mobility 57.9 kg)<br \/>\nThe same journey on the <strong>ICE from Vienna to Seefeld<\/strong> produces more than half the emissions of the first example (just under 45 percent).<br \/>\nIn some of the selected examples, <strong>air travel<\/strong> has higher emission values than other means of transportation, but not always necessarily. After measuring the air line between the starting airport and the nearest destination airport plus transfer to the golf course for further distances, the total kilometers for arrival and departure can sometimes be significantly less than the distance by car (for example, a total of 400 km less from Hamburg to Seefeld and back).<\/p>\n<p><strong>More luxury in the hotel means more emissions<\/strong><br \/>\nIt becomes even more CO\u2082-friendly if you swap the 5-star hotel for a vacation apartment: five nights in the vacation apartment and four rounds of golf per person: 50 km are covered daily in a rental car in the city. Footprint per person: <strong>403.2 kg CO\u2082<\/strong> (accommodation 58.1 kg, catering 10.6 kg, golf 199.6 kg, travel to and from the event 77 kg and mobility on site 57.9 kg)<\/p>\n<p>In the case of <strong>nearby travel destinations<\/strong>, travel to and from the destination by car accounts for between six percent (Munich; 44.5 kg) and 39 percent (Hamburg; 444.6 kg) of the overall balance, depending on the starting point. The greater the distance, the greater this proportion becomes. For trips to Majorca, this proportion is still less than half (between 36 and 49 percent; 390 &#8211; 645 kg), but for air travel to Mauritius, this category clearly has the highest proportion, between 70 and 72 percent (2,282 kg to 2,386 kg).
