Zero waste concept in tourism
Tourists, residents as well as the accommodation and catering facilities generate large amounts of waste and therefore have large impact on the environment. Given that high quality environment is very often main motive for tourists to visit certain destinations, waste handling in context of environment protection is of a major concern. In addition, it is in the interest of the destination management and particularly of the stakeholders providing tourism products and services to optimize the use of resources and to make their business as efficient and effective as possible. Therefore, concepts that seek to address current challenges of conserving resources and biodiversity, as well as preserving the quality of health and life in general, are increasingly in the focus of interest. In addition to analysing previous researches on this topic, pilot survey was conducted on the attitudes and habits of (potential) tourists related to waste management. Moreover, it was examined how well the respondents were familiar with the concepts of zero waste, sustainable development, waste management, recycling and the circular economy, and what is their perception on the possible impact of zero waste initiatives on the environment and personal tourism experience. Apart from the survey results, this paper provides insights on tourism businesses that are operating according to the zero waste concept and on how this concept impacts their business.
