as well as most importantly pollution free which will help the country to attract more tourism in
the city center. It has been analyzed that most of the pollution lies in the city center of any
country and requires to be lower the transportation. Creation of car free City will impact on both

tourist destination is that car free City center will help the tourism in providing pollution free

environment to the visitors and also help the hospitality and event industries in getting more
customers in the country. But it also have a negative impact on the tourism hospitality and event
industries as car free City will reduce or cancel the motor vehicles in the City center which can
impact the services provided to the visitors in all the industry that is tourism hospitality and event
industries. Taking an example of tourism if car free City center is created then it will also be in
the private motors that has been hired by tourism for their safety and security which will reduce
their satisfaction and experience in the City (Woetzel, and Kuznetsova, 2018).
This creation of car free City will also help to provide effective changes in the events that
can be hosted in the City. Earlier the events are not able to be hosted in the city due to high rush
of traffic but after car free cities the events can be hold in the mid of the city so that each and
every individual a tourist can be able to attend the events. Car free City not only help to enhance
the events tourism but also provide opportunities to the new hospitality business (Prieto, Baltas,
and Stan, 2017). As more tourism will be attracted in the country the organization in hospitality
sector gets the opportunity to grow their business in the market and also attract new business
activities in the hospitality industries with better opportunities.
The environmental impacts

high level of greenhouse gases that is very harmful for the environment. Car Free City centers is

positive impact to the environment in the country. It has been analyzed that most of the traffic
was found in the city areas where all the facilities are available with the people at nearby places.
The planning to implement car free City centers will help the stakeholders to reduce the carbon
footprint in the air of the country and also enhance the sustainability of environment in the
country (Al Madi, Caston, and Eismann, 2018). Helps to reduce the pollution in the city areas which
has its direct impact on the climate of the country as pollution cause global warming which is the
major reason for the climate change. As car free City centers helps to reduce the personal cars
and vehicles on road which reduces the emission of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide
and black carbon which is the major reason for the pollution in a country. Increasing air pollution
in many countries is considered as a greatest human health risk which effects the health and
wellbeing of many individuals in many countries. Public transport are considered as safe and

reliable for people you can help an individual in creation of car free cities in many countries. It
reduces the private transportation like taxis cars and other motor vehicles from the cities which
helps in less emission of greenhouse gases in the environment. This reduction in emission of
greenhouse gases will reduce the carbon footprints from the environment which has its direct
impact on the global warming (Scarinci, Bahrami, and Bierlaire, 2017). Adaptation of this car free

2019). That is the reason that the Car Free City centers are appreciated as it also provide benefits
to the society by reducing the traffic and pollution from the roads. Pollution in the market is
harmful only for the people who are living in the nearby society as this position results in
creation of deadly diseases. This is the positive impact of car free City centers on the social
environment or society in which the people will be able to inhale fresh air as compared to the
polluted air. Banning of cars in the cities areas will create discomfort to the public as they are
required to explore the market as a pedestrian and their private vehicles will not be allowed in
the market. But it will also put a positive impact on the society as it reduces the accident rates in
the market full stop according to survey it has been analyzed that measure of the accidents are
caused by the private vehicles and in order to reduce the signs of accidents the car free City
centers will give social benefit to the society. As this approach will be implemented in the city
areas it will also give some changes in the demographic areas of the city centers because it will
be essential for the society to implement all the necessity is in the nearby locations in the city
centers. Ban of private vehicles will also reduce the crime rate in the market as generally the
thieves and other criminals comment declines with the help of private vehicles (Palutturi, and
Arifin, 2019).
