The entrepreneurs’ awareness of the benefits of circular economy practices seems to be sufficient but more emphasis needs to be placed on knowledge campaigns, technologies, regulations/guidelines as well as information about financial incentives and financing vehicles to support CE implementation. We want to put forward a 6-step CE Strategic Framework that would help local authorities to stimulate tourism and hospitality SME’s to adopt CE Solutions:  

  1. Create a climate for change 
  2. Establish a change framework 
  3. Stimulate process & innovation thinking by engaging the SMEs in a coaching programme 
  4. Show evidence-based solutions 
  5. Push implementation via small financial incentives & further knowledge exchange 
  6. Set up a broad communication campaign to the consumer to create awareness 

We welcome continue dialogue with all stakeholders on the above topics; do get in touch!
