Solar Energy
Used to provide power for lighting, heating, and cooling systems in hotels and resorts. Benefits include reducing electricity costs and lowering carbon footprint.
Geothermal Energy
Exploited for heating and cooling in spas, resorts, and pools, especially in volcanic regions. Benefits include significant reduction in conventional energy use and year-round stability.
Solar Thermal Air Conditioning
Using solar heat to power air conditioning systems, reducing reliance on grid electricity. Benefits include lower operational costs and an eco-friendly reputation for tourism businesses.
Renewable Energy in Transport
Using biofuels, electric or hybrid vehicles for transportation in the tourism sector. Benefits include reduced emissions, fuel cost savings, and enhancing the sector's sustainable image.
Ocean Energy
Harnessing wave and tidal energy for coastal resorts. Benefits include a vast, untapped energy source that could support marine-based tourism activities.
Smart Energy Management Systems
Implementing advanced systems to optimize energy use in tourist facilities. Benefits include real-time energy savings, decreased operational costs, and data-driven sustainability improvements.
Green Roofs
Installing vegetative layers on hotel rooftops to improve insulation and reduce heating and cooling needs. Benefits include better energy efficiency and the creation of attractive green spaces for guests.
Wind Energy
Utilized to generate electricity for remote tourist destinations or to supplement grid power. Benefits include energy autonomy and the attraction of eco-friendly travelers.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
Tourism businesses can purchase RECs to offset their energy use, supporting the renewable energy market. Benefits include improved sustainability image and potential for green marketing.
Hydropower
Used in tourist areas close to water bodies to generate electricity with minimal environmental impact. Benefits include consistent energy supply and potential for energy export to local communities.
Energy from Waste Water
Recovering energy from tourist facility waste water, including heat recovery from showers and baths. Benefits include reduced energy expenditure and contribution to water conservation efforts.
Biomass Energy
Converting organic waste from tourism facilities into energy. Benefits include waste reduction and sustainable energy generation that doesn't depend on weather conditions.
