Tourism, more than any other type of activity, requires an unspoilt environment in which to operate. The tourism sector represents 5% of European Union GDP and accounts for over half a million tourist accommodations sites. Often located in pleasant but fragile locations, tourist accommodations can put pressure on water and energy resources and threaten local biodiversity through inappropiate waste management. Increased environmental requirements and awareness, and the need for environmentally-friendly service providers to stand out from the crowd, all argue in favour of using an environmental management system.

An EMAS registration on your tourist accommodation service means that it has the following assets:

• Limited energy consumption
• Limited water consumption
• Reduced waste production
• Favouring the use of renewable resources and of substances which are less hazardous to the environment
• Promoting environmental education and communication
• Increasing involvement of the staff
