>>> The average EU citizen living in "centuries old city centers" emits ~5.66 tCO2eq/year

As the GP said, that excludes the flight to get there. Also it does not include going to a swimming pool everyday, and probably not crazy 15°C/60°F AC [1]. It's not a good comparison of old style turism with crouse turism.

[1] At home I use the AC at 26°C/79°F. It's insane to use a wool pullover in summer just because someone likes the AC at 15°C/60°F.
