The central aim of this study is to contribute to the encroachment of knowledge on impact of tourism on environmental pollution by CO2 emissions ASEAN-3 namely Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore during 1990-2014. The FMOLS results reveal that the impact of tourism variable on environmental pollution is significantly positive, while for Thailand and Singapore, it is found negative and statistically significant. Empirical findings suggest that sustainable economic development should be ensured by implementing prudent public policy, where tourism industry needs to be expanded further but fulfilment of its responsibility towards maintaining green and sustainable environment must be top most priority.

The article substantiates the methodological tools for the formation of the mechanism for implementing the strategy of sustainable economic development of the hotel and restaurant industry. To ensure the operation of the mechanism, a system of indicators and criteria for assessing the process of sustainable economic development, based on accelerating the growth of efficiency and reducing operating costs through reserve and progressive development of resource potential of the enterprise. The paper identifies the stages of sustainable economic development of the enterprise, which include: identification, grouping and analysis of factors of progressive and reserve development, their classification and determining the degree of influence on the growth of operational (production and administrative and marketing) activities, progressive development of resource potentials; development of regression models and indicators of progressive, reserve and sustainable (static and dynamic) economic development, which explain the patterns of influence of factors on performance indicators; forecasting the parameters of efficiency and cost of production and commercial activities; formation of the volume and structure of investments by types of capital investments that ensure the progressive development of resource potentials, economic growth and sustainability of the enterprise. A methodology for creating regression models and indicators was developed, which provided an opportunity to assess and predict the ratio of resource costs and the level of operational efficiency, as well as change the performance indicator by changing the values of factor parameters or their total value in different combinations. The algorithm of the organizational and economic mechanism of realization of strategy of management of steady economic development of the enterprise of hotel and restaurant sphere is constructed. This algorithm provided the ability to determine the reserves of available resources, as well as to establish the required size and structure of capital investments that reduce costs and increase the efficiency of production and administrative activities.

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a typical resource-rich but economically backward region in western China, and it is of great urgency to improve human well-being. Combined with previous scholars’ research and the characteristics of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this paper constructs an index system of human well-being including four dimensions: income and consumption, means of production, means of subsistence, and resource acquisition ability. Then, it uses generalized matrix method estimations to measure the influence of energy utilization and economic development on human well-being and makes a regression analysis on the influence of energy utilization and economic development on human well-being in various provinces in this region. It is found that per capita GDP and coke utilization promote the well-being of all dimensions, while the urban registered unemployment rate only promotes the well-being of means of subsistence. The utilization of gasoline and natural gas promotes income and consumption and inhibits the means of subsistence and resource acquisition ability, but they have opposite effects on means of production. The impacts of energy utilization and economic development in different provinces on human well-being are different. This study is of great significance to the related research aiming at improving people’s livelihood and promoting regional development.
