Project objectives

The DETOCS project aims are, in each of the partner regions, to:

  1. A) Facilitate the decarbonisation of the tourism infrastructure;
    B) Increase the energy efficiency of tourism infrastructure;
    C) Increase the energy self-sufficiency of tourism sector;
    D) Promote new and novel types of tourism, which have low energy consumption and carbon footprint (i.e., “virtual tourism”);
    E)  Assist regions to cope with the current energy crisis that increases the share of energy cost in their total operational cost threatening their profitability and economic viability.

DETOCS contributes to EU Cohesion Policy, and specifically to the “Policy Objective 2 (PO2): A greener, low-carbon Europe”, as it promotes clean and sustainable energy transition of tourism infrastructure. In order to promote the achievement of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050, the targeted polices will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through new investments in energy efficiency, energy-saving schemes and sustainable renewable energy as set in Directive (EU) 2018/2001.
