Solar Energy in High Category Ecological Motor Camps in Dalmatia

The motor camps in Dalmatia make for approximately one third of the overall tourist industry capacities of the Region. Most of regional camps do not meet the minimum categorisation conditions, prescribed by EFCO (European Federation of Camping Organisations), which results in lower prices for their services and attract numbers of holiday-makers who have quite low expenditures other than board and lodging. Excessive energy costs, mostly electric energy, are just an additional burden for otherwise low income. Solar energy is the most natural locally available energy source of zero cost and ecologically 100% clean. That energy source not only can help reduce operational costs but can also enable the significant extension of the tourist season for camps and, at the same time, help in attracting the customers with high purchasing power. These energy and water saving aimed solutions, which involve solar energy, and reduce the waste and wastewater are characterised by organisational and infrastructure interventions resulting in better traffic regulation, noise level reduction, environment protection while providing the � loisir� and meeting customers� demand. They have the potential to transform the existing camps (especially large ones) into highly attractive destinations in the European hospitality market.
