Objectives
The main objective of the project is to foster the development of sustainable energy in tourism in the participating communities and beyond. The communities are committed to increasing RUE and the use of RES in the tourism business as one of their main economic sectors. This will be a crucial step towards their respective goals to increase their energy performance and their share of renewable energy sources beyond European Union targets.
SETCOM’s specific objectives:
The project’s targets coincide exactly with the scope of the EU Action Plan for more Sustainable European Tourism.
Among others, SETCOM aims
- to develop the participating communities as sustainable tourism destinations
- to encourage sustainable companies by setting up an energy action plan for the tourism sector saying how to reach the main goal of lowering CO2-emissions beyond European targets
- to sensitise tourists about energy saving and a sustainable holiday
SETCOM’s strategic objectives:
- Reducing GHG-emission caused by the tourism industry in the participating communities dramatically by saving energy and by increasing the use of carbon neutral renewable energy sources
- To foster the development of local markets for energy efficiency services and for
renewable energy applications
