About SETCOM
The project intends to build up and promote 10 communities from 10 European countries as pioneers for sustainable energy use in tourism busines
SETCOM has the three following main targets:
- Raising awareness of substantial energy topics among tourism companies, local administration and tourists within the participating communities
- Raising awareness for the topic ‘sustainable energy tourism’ Europe wide.
- Setting up energy action plans for the participating communities with the definition of a clear and realistic way to more energy efficiency, less GEG-emission and less energy consumption in their leading business: the tourism industry.
The structure of the project and the geographical scope of the partners ensure the transferability of the results throughout Europe.
