Tourism and Sustainable Energy
Today is World Tourism Day. It is being celebrated under the theme “Tourism & Sustainable Energy : Powering Sustainable Development “. Official celebrations will take place in Maspalomas, Spain today on Sept 27.
This year’s theme aims to highlight tourism’s role in a brighter energy future; a future in which the world’s entire population has access to modern, efficient and affordable energy services.
Tourism, one of the world’s largest economic sectors, has already taken important steps towards this future – improving energy efficiency and increasingly using renewable energy technologies in its operations. These steps are creating jobs, lifting people out of poverty and helping to protect the planet.
