Circular entrepreneurship in the tourism sector
What is circular entrepreneurship?
We only have one planet. We overconsume natural resources such as water, fish, crude oil, timber and minerals. These resources are needed to make food, fuel, accommodations, and raw materials to manufacture a broad range of products. When managed well, consumed renewable resources could be restored in a short time. As the total amount of available resources decreases, the more expensive such materials become. The majority of resources used today however are non-renewable and are set to become increasingly scarce based on the current rising demand and unsustainable consumption.
Circular entrepreneurship is a way of doing business based on a product lifecycle standpoint in which sustainable actions such as the reuse of natural resources, raw materials, and manufactured products are being maximized in minimizing the loss of its value. As an example, in circular entrepreneurship discarded products can be re-used or brought back to raw material (in an environmentally friendly manner) to manufacture new products.
Integrating circular entrepreneurship into the tourism sector is essential, as tourism involves mass consumption of natural resources, putting a strain on natural resources and raw materials. According to the UN World Tourism Organization, tourism along the 2 Seas coastline will increase by 5 to 8% in the coming decades. As a result, mass consumption of natural resources such as water and oil, land degradation and use increases over time. This puts pressure on the already limited resources in the region.
