Abstract

Zbog činjenice da postoje isključivo općenita istraživanja o negativnom utjecaju turizma na okoliš, a bez konkretnih informacija o negativnom utjecaju hotela odnosno posljedicama prekomjerne potrošnje energije u njima, javila se ideja o potrebi analiziranja energije kao izvora negativnog utjecaja hotela na okoliš. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati gdje, zašto i kako se energija troši u turizmu, posebno u hotelijerstvu, te ukazati na mogućnosti koje su na raspolaganju hotelima kako bi reducirali njenu potrošnju te na taj način smanjili svoj negativan utjecaj na okoliš. Za potrebe pisanja rada korišteni su općeniti podaci o energiji, zatim publikacije o energetskim rješenjima za hotele i utjecaju turizma na okoliš. Analiza prikupljenih podataka potvrđuje da su hoteli izuzetno veliki potrošači energije budući da energiju koriste 24 sata dnevno 7 dana tjedno. Hotelima su na raspolaganju različiti načini smanjenja njene potrošnje između kojih se najviše preporučuje korištenje obnovljivih izvora energije, čije korištenje dokazano ima manji negativni utjecaj na okoliš.

Abstract (english)

There are only general research on the negative impact of tourism on the environment. There is no any concrete information on the negative impact of hotels and their extensive use of energy. This is why the idea of the necessity of seeing the energy as a source of the negative impact on the environment emerged.This paper aims to show where, when and how energy is used in tourism, especially in hotel management, and to point out the possibilities that the hotels have to reduce the use of energy and teherefore reduce their negative impact on the environment.General information about energy, publications on energetic solutions of hotels and general information on the influence of turism on the environment have been used.The analysis of the data confirms that hotels are major energy consumers because they use energy 24/7.Hotels have at their disposal various ways to reduce the use of energy. One of the most recommended ways is the use of renewable energy sources because it is proved that the use of energy from the renewable sources does not have such negative influence on the environment.
