Background
The United Nation's World Tourism Organisation has set a target of 20% energy savings and increasing the use of renewable energy by 10%.
In Fiji, where tourism is the largest industry, there is strong potential for a sectoral approach that coordinates the efforts of all major tourism stakeholders to achieve collective energy savings and to reduce costs. In addition, reducing greenhouse gas emissions with technologies consistent with current CDM methodologies can open the carbon trading markets to hotels. This sectoral approach can complement the energy efficiency legislation on domestic appliances that is expected to be introduced by the Fijian Government.
