The aim of the study is to introduce key practices with a low carbon footprint that can help reduce the carbon footprint in tourist destinations. The carbon footprint is thus proposed as an innovative means of sustainable tourism supported by low carbon footprint practices to combat climate change. The study relied on the quantitative approach, where the questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection and 414 questionnaires were distributed randomly on tourists in Hurghada. Only 400 questionnaires were retrieved and valid for statistical analysis, with a response rate of 96.6 percent. Version 24 of the SPSS analytical software was used to analyze respondents' responses and prove the validity of the study hypotheses. The study concluded that carbon footprint practices are important to make Hurghada an environmentally friendly destination with low carbon emissions. They also positively affect the tourist's choice of destination. The study recommended the importance of applying carbon footprint practices within the framework of accommodation, transportation and energy in tourism destinations because of their positive impact on the tourist's decision-making process in choosing the tourism destination.
