Literature Review Of Solar Energy

To date, however, no systematically collated review of the literature dealing with the topic has appeared, and so this study attempts to fill this gap in the literature by means of a content analysis of the research publications focusing on the use of renewable energy in the tourism industry. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, our study identifies what is known about renewable energy in the service sector in general and in the tourism industry in particular, although it is clear from this that research into renewable energy in tourism is still at an early stage.

This, in turn, should support the basic principle of sustainability.

Energy policy and an action plan for renewable energy sources (RES) for the Hellenic islands of the North Aegean region. doi:10.1016/S0360-5442(98)00079-6 [4] Beccali, M., La Gennusa, M., Lo Coco, L., and Rizzo, G. An empirical approach for ranking environmental and energy saving measures in the hotel sector. doi:10.1016/j.renene.20 [5] Becken, S., Frampton, C., Simmons, D.

The aim of our study, therefore, is a better insight into the role of renewable energy in tourism, mainly by examining accommodation and focusing on destinations. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 91(10): 1203–1214.

We hope that the system-based approach of our study will open more doors to renewable energy. Feasibility of utilizing renewable energy systems for a small hotel in Ajloun city, Jordan. doi:10.1016/S0167-6105(03)00073-4 [3] Balaras, Constantinos A., Mat Santamouris, D.
