Energy efficiency and renewable energy services in the tourist sector in Bulgaria
ALBENA 9th MAY 2014 9:30 am FLAMINGO GRAND HOTEL - ALBENA, BULGARIA
Statistical data for the tourism sector in Bulgaria
Bulgarian tourism recorded yet another strong year in 2012 with the number of inbound tourist trips increasing for a third consecutive year after the halt in 2009 which was caused by the general drop in touristic flows caused by the global financial crisis. The number of inbound tourist trips to Bulgaria and total incoming tourist receipts increased by 3% and 2% respectively in 2012, with growth mainly being fuelled by the growing number of Russians and Ukrainians visiting the country during the summer.
Changes in legislation Throughout most of 2012 the Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism (MEET) worked on amending tourism legislation, with the final voting expected to take place in the first months of 2013. The proposed changes will remove the permanent categorisation of hotels and other outlets and introduce temporary categorisation for five years. In addition, the new legislation will also introduce new categories of touristic outlets such as hostels, guest houses and tourist apartment complexes which so far have not been classified and have not been checked to see if they offer a certain minimum level of service.
Summer Tourism in Bulgaria The Black Sea Coast offers attractive seaside resorts. The sunshine record is exceptional with an yearly average of nearly 300 days of sunshine. Tourists enjoy various opportunities for climate-treatment and balneotreatment, yachting, surfing, water skiing, diving, underwater fishing, other aquatic sports and diverse entertainment opportunities. There are special itineraries combining see tourism with active tourism and providing opportunities for hiking, cycling, riding, photo-tourism, and ecotourism, as well as visits to natural, archaeological and cultural places of interest.
Ski and Mountain Tourism in Bulgaria Rila, Pirin, Vitosha, the Rodopes, and the Balkan Mountains offer good possibilities for ski and mountain tourism. In the international resorts of Pamporovo, Borovets and Bansko one can enjoy some of the best skiing in Europe with snow covers lasting from Christmas until Easter and ski tracks for beginners and professionals at all levels. There are many ski schools providing individual and group lessons.
The following figure illustrates the main environmental elements involved in running a hotel. The “input” describes the material needed for the operation of a hotel; the “output” is the emission or by-product caused by the operation of the hotel. Hotels have a direct influence on the input and output.
Why should my hotel care about energy consumption?
Type of investment to EE and RES projects in the hotel’s infrastructure: Low-term project investments: from one month till 1 year; Middle-term project investment: from 1 year till 5 years; Long-term project investment: over 5 years.
Potential EE and RES projects in the hotel’s infrastructure: Installation of new heat insulation of the building’s walls, floor and roof; Installation of new efficient windows framework; Solar thermal collectors for heating, DHW and for SPA center and swimming pool; Heat pumps for heating, DHW and for SPA center and swimming pool; Fuel switch from conventional fuels to wooden biomass; Improvement of the internal and external lighting systems; Installation of PV system on the roof for electricity generation; Better operational use of current equipment (through equipment control and regulation);
Potential EE and RES projects in the hotel’s infrastructure: CHP installation for combined electricity and heat energy generation and consumption; CHP installation for combined electricity and heat energy generation and consumption using wooden biomass as a fuel CHP installation based on biogas generation from anaerobic waste fermentation (indirect utilization of biomass); New chillers and air conditioning systems for cooling with lower electricity consumption; Replacement of non sufficient kitchen appliances with new one; Improve (other) electric equipment efficiency; Energy monitoring system implementation; Facility management system implementation.
