Relationships between hotel and restaurant electricity consumption and tourism in 11 European Union countries

Tourism is a major economic activity in the world. However, while tourism has a noticeable positive impact on economic development, it also contributes to environmental degradation by increasing energy consumption and therefore emissions. This paper analyzes the relationships between Hotel and Resta...
