As the country with the second highest tourism carbon footprint, the impact of tourism on carbon emissions may become one of the determinants for achieving China’s reduction commitments in 2030 (60%-65%). And the development of all-for-one tourism, which refers to the integration of resources and industries, provides more opportunities and challenges. Hence, this paper constructs the index system of all-for-one tourism and studies impact mechanism of all-for-one tourism on carbon emissions in China. The key findings show that: The development of all-for-one tourism includes industrial domain, spatial domain and integrated domain. Each domain has heterogeneity effect on carbon emissions. And the impacts of all-for-one tourism on carbon emissions are mainly through the population agglomeration and industrial structure.
