Tourism　is　responsible　for　more　than　10%　of　the　global　gross　domestic　product,　the　growth　rate　of　China＇s　tourism　industry　is　one　of　the　highest　in　the　world.　With　the　continuous　prosperity　of　domestic　tourism　in　China,　tourism　in　China　creates　large　amounts　of　embodied　carbon　emissions　between　regions　according　to　its　immense　industrial　infrastructure　and　multi-regional　mobility.　In　the　context　of　global　climate　change　and　China＇s　＂dual　carbon　target＂,　the　continuous　monitoring　and　analysis　of　carbon　emissions　associated　with　tourism　in　China　are　becoming　more　pressing.　This　study　applied　the　emissions　embodied　in　the　bilateral　trade　(EEBT)　model　and　structure　decomposition　analysis　(SDA)　to　analyze　the　spatial-temporal　pattern　and　driving　mechanism　of　tourism　embodied　carbon　transfers　(CETT)　between　30　provinces　in　China.　It　has　been　found　that　the　CETT　of　30　provinces　in　China　between　1997　and　2012　increased　from　33.652　Mt　to　164.345　Mt,　three　times　more　than　previously　directly　estimated,　more　provinces　in　China　have　become　a　＂net　destination＂　of　CETT.　Tourism　risks　becoming　an　＂accelerator＂　of　regional　carbon　emissions,　because　of　the　trend　of　carbon　emissions　growing　faster　than　economic　growth.　Based　on　carbon-intensity　analysis,　the　main　driving　forces　of　net　CETT　were　explored:　low-carbon　technology　of　tourism　products　and　services,　tourist　origin　structure,　and　tourist　market　scale.　Technology　driving　force　and　structure　driving　force　reduced　net　CETT　outflows　by　64.98　Mt　and　646.30　Mt,　respectively,　1997　to　2012,　while　the　scale　driving　force　increased　by　714.28　Mt.　This　study　puts　forward　specific　implements　on　the　regulation　and　control　of　CETT　in　China＇s　from　tourism　route,　supply　chain,　and　government　regime　by　combining　quantitative　and　qualitative　methods.　This　study　proposed　a　research　framework　of　＂measure-intensity-driver-regulation＂　for　CETT　and　connected　with　the　forefront　of　global　climate　change　research,　in　order　to　effectively　guide　the　low-carbon　transformation　and　development　of　tourism　with　new　tools　and　methods,　and　provide　a　reference　for　low-carbon　green　development　in　the　post-pandemic　era　for　the　world.
