Low-carbon tourism is an emerging topic that the tourism industry and academia have paid attention to in recent years. In the past, many researchers have designed low-carbon tourism package itinerary from the point of view of practitioners, and rarely used the view of policy operation to guide self-service tourists how to engage in energy-saving and carbon reduction behaviour in tourism. The purpose of this study is to analyse the government departments in Taitung County, Taiwan as a case study on how to guide and promote the activities of participants in energy conservation and carbon reduction during ceremonial holiday. This study draws preliminary conclusions that the key to the success of low-carbon tourism lies in the specific implementation of government policies. In addition, the key to success is that people can abide by the law and government policies. There is also communication with indigenous tribes about low-carbon practices, and the use of mass media and school to promote this policy.
