Ideen om cirkulær økonomi og dens principper er stadig ny og relativ ukendt i turismebranchen. Vi vil derfor gerne introducere dig til at læse rapporten med titlen “Destination: A circular tourism economy. A handbook for transitioning toward a circular economy within the tourism and hospitality sectors in the South Baltic Region”. Håndbogen præsenterer et omfattende overblik over cirkulær økonomi. Den giver baggrundsviden og er et udgangspunkt for det videre arbejde med design af cirkulære ydelser gennem workshops og individuel rådgivning i vores CIRTOINNO-projekt. Det er også en kilde til inspiration og værdifuld viden for turismevirksomheder i (og udenfor) den sydlige Baltikum-region. Projektresultaterne skal implementeres af projektpartnere i de deltagende sydbaltiske regioner: Pommern (Polen), Klaipeda (Litauen), Blekinge og Kalmar (Sverige) og Bornholm (Danmark).
En introduktion til den cirkulære økonomi
(Kapitel 2) Her finder du konceptet bag circulær økonomi (CØ), en kort præsentation af teoretiske skoler, der har været inspirationskilder for CØ, og en diskussion af, hvordan cirkulær økonomi adskiller sig fra det nuværende lineære økonomiske regime.
CØ’s kontekst: Turisme og det sydlige Baltikum
(Kapitel 3) Her tager vi en mere konceptuel diskussion af turismens særlige karakteristika og af denne sektors grundlæggende muligheder og barrierer i forhold til en omstilling til cirkulær økonomi.
Turisme - og servicesektorer i den cirkulære økonomi
(Kapitel 4) Her beskriver og eksemplificerer vi de cirkulære koncepter, som vi har introduceret i de foregående kapitler inden for de tre fokusområder, som er afgrænset af CIRTOINNO-partnerne. Disse er:
