Roadmap for low carbon and resource efficient sustainable accommodation in the Dominican Republic

Abstract

This is a roadmap to a sustainable and resilient tourism accommodation sector in the Dominican Republic. It will help the tourism sector to become a guardian of the natural beauty of the country, on which it relies, and showcase the hospitality of its people, their diversity and their culture. The roadmap sets five targets for the accomodation sector in the Dominican Republic: 1) 25% GHG emissions reduction. 2) 50% food waste reduction. 3) 25% reduction of non-renewable energy use. 4) Complete removal of problematic single-use plastics. 5) Sustainability certifications for hotels.
