The tourism’s growing consumption of energy, especially in transportation and accommodation, and its great demand on fossil fuels has important implications for GHG emissions. From the perspective of low carbon and emission reduction, the paper discussed the carbon emission of China’s tourism. Based on the previous studies, the paper calculated carbon emission of 31 Chinese provinces from tourism transportation and accommodation. The results show that: 1) Tourism transportation contributes most to carbon emission, accounting for 89.4% of the total, while tourism accommodation accounts for 10.6%. 2) In terms of transportation, civil aviation contributes most, accounting for 44.71% of the carbon emission of tourism transportation. 3) In terms of accommodation, three-star hotels contribute most, accounting for 45.3% of the carbon emission of tourism accommodation. 4) Cities of Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai make the largest contribution to the carbon emission among 31 provinces. Based on the above, it is reasonable that Tourism Sectors should make targeted policies to promote the development of low-carbon tourism according to the structure of tourism transportation and accommodation.
