The European SETCOM project aimed to raise awareness on energy related topics and encouraged the use of sustainable energy in tourism across Europe. SETCOM was developed in the framework of the Brandenburg Energy Technology Initiative (www.eti-brandenburg.de) and was coordinated by the Potsdam Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
SETCOM addressed very varied stakeholders in the tourism industry of participating countries (administrators, employees and tourists), who were supported by SETCOM partners in order to reduce their energy use. In particular, SETCOM supported companies in the tourism industry by providing ideas to reduce energy costs and region-based best practice examples, that show how energy efficiency can be successfully achieved.
Together with energy experts, energy saving measures in selected companies have been achieved and acknowledged.
SETCOM was adopted in several countries: Italy, France, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Latvia and Spain.
Main objectives
- Raise awareness of substantial energy topics among tourism companies, local administration and tourists in the participating communities.
- Raise awareness of ‘sustainable energy tourism’ throughout Europe.
- Set up energy action plans for the participating communities with realistic and clearly defined ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce GEG-emissions”
