APEC has helped drive economic growth and cooperation across the Asia-Pacific by reducing trade barriers, improving the ease of doing business and strengthening connectivity among economies. These efforts have contributed to rising incomes, expanded trade and greater opportunities for businesses and communities across the region.

In summary, the objectives of the project are:
- To understand aviation visitor flows and greenhouse gas emissions
- To examine the impact on APEC member economies of future market-based measures applying to international transport;
- To develop a pilot economic model to assist the development of future tourism and transport policies relating to emissions; and
- To inform sustainable policy approaches to international tourist air travel emissions in APEC.
