Waste Management
Solid waste is an ever increasing aspect of tourism. The management of solid waste in tourism insular and low-density areas is particularly problematic due to climatic conditions, topography, financial restraints, planning issues, changing consumption patterns, transient population, and seasonal variations in solid waste quantity and composition. Efforts are required to reduce the amount of waste production in tourist destinations, while at the same time, supporting the re-use and recycling of waste, reducing pressures associated with both waste disposal and with extracting and processing new resources.

WATER MANAGEMENT
WATER MANAGEMENT
Water is one of the most critical natural resources. Water quality and scarcity are turning into a global major concern. Tourists often consume far more water than they do at home. The tourism industry alike, overuses water resources for tourist and leisure services such as swimming pools, water parks, golf courses and snow-making facilities, putting growing pressure on local water supplies. Urgent action is needed to plan, develop, distribute and manage the optimum use of water resources to meet local communities needs and wellbeing as well as satisfy tourist expectations.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The tourism sector is an energy-intensive sector. In particular, the recreation aspect of tourism, its attractions and activities contribute considerably to a destination’s “energy bill”. There is the growing need of raising awareness of substantial energy topics among tourism industry and final users. Efforts are to be invested in the planning, distribution and management of renewable sources of energy production to prevent the depletion of otherwise finite natural resources as well as the emission of greenhouse gases resulting from excessive energy use, seen as challenging threats to the global environment.

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
Mobility is a prerequisite for a tourist experience, resulting into a temporary displacement from one’s place of residence, that can heavily impact the environmental capital of the destination. It is estimated that the tourism industry is directly responsible for 5% of the total volume of CO2 emissions, mainly caused by tourist transportation and growing mobility. It is urgent to analyze tourist habits and control their mobility patterns, considering their motives to choose a mode of transportation and their attitude towards sustainability, while at the same time providing tourists with sustainable mobility alternatives and solutions.
