Articulated work to promote the circular economy in tourist destinations on northern beaches
In order to promote the energy transition and the incorporation of circular economy principles in the Playas del Norte Tourist Destination, the Vichayito Solar discussion was held, an articulation space that brings together authorities from the tourism and environmental sector, representatives of regional and local government, hotel entrepreneurs and unions of the tourism sector.
The Playas del Norte Tourist Destination (Piura and Tumbes) faces high vulnerability to climate change, growing energy demand and challenges in waste management. In this scenario, the tourism sector has a key role in contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions, the promotion of sustainable investments and the generation of green employment, strengthening resilient territorial development.
The agenda prioritized the energy transition, the circular economy and territorial climate action, as well as the strengthening of public-private alliances, through the experience of the Hotel Refugio Vichayito. With these actions, Vichayito positions itself as a benchmark for sustainable tourism on the northern coast, highlighting that sustainability is also competitiveness.
