Introduction

Our research program is aimed at joint-development of project ideas and pilots from entrepreneurs, while building the social network around them for successful design and implementation^[1]. To enhance this, we are creating a - scientific based - practical toolkit for the implementation of CE-solutions and are building the FACET-community.

Quadruple Helix

Quadrupal Helix model

Within FACET we are connecting several stakeholders and experts around topics like renewable energy, resource & waste management, bio-based building, green roofs, joint-purchase, and sustainable packaging. The reason is two-fold: driving innovation is easier when working together and optimizing informal and formal regional networks helps strengthening local economic activities. Regions must build on their own strengths by connecting government, business, academia and civil society, an approach also called Quadruple Helix.

It is a method to enhance the cooperation between relevant stakeholders that are linked to the entrepreneurial process^[2], in this case entrepreneurs in the Tourism & Leisure sector that want to become more sustainable. The Quadruple Helix entails several meetings that focuses on how to foster an innovative environment for organizations and help them to develop better products and services. As such, partners in the Quadruple Helix strive to have a positive effect on business climate and society in general.

Stakeholder meetings and interaction

The FACET-partnership

The FACET project involves representatives from public authorities, industry, academia and citizens. The actors vary amongst the regions (see map):

FACET partners & regions

Public authorities: include (local and regional) government and policy makers t.b.d.
Business & Industry: includes local businesses, for example restaurants, hotels and campings, as well as vacation parks (Paardenkreek/NL). Industry representatives and regional development agencies are in France (Dir. Régionale Hauts-de-France de l’ADEME), Belgium (The Blue Cluster & Westtoer), United Kingdom (Norfolk City Council) and The Netherlands (Economic Impulse Zeeland).
Academia: includes universities or research & development bodies such as the University of Greenwich (UK) and HZ University of Applied Sciences/Knowledge Center for Coastal Tourism (NL).
Civil society are the fourth actor of the Quadruple Helix and often refers to how users and citizens are invited via media, information campaigns and other channels. Citizens in the innovation process ideally consists of different representatives of the end-user and/or voluntary organizations and volunteers.

.

Opportunities

Through the value chain meetings and ‘calls for proposals’ several project ideas have been identified by local entrepreneurs that joined the FACET-initiative. The best solutions that enable a shift from a linear to a circular economy are selected and turned into projects, focused on topics such as renewable energy, circular/bio-based building, sustainable packaging, green roofs, waste management, and others. In addition, FACET has initiated two pilot projects on bio-based building.↵The selected project ideas are ideally clustered together for joint-development around the solution topics. Good examples are shared including custom developed FACET-models & tools to enhance the strength of entrepreneurs making their project ideas come to life and fruition.

Quadruple Helix

FACET is connecting several stakeholders and experts around topics like renewable energy, resource & waste management, bio-based building, green roofs, joint-purchase, and sustainable packaging. The reason is two-fold: driving innovation is easier when working together and by connecting government, business, academia and civil society we strengthen our local economy.

-=== The change needed in tourism ===
+=== Introduction ===
-The acceleration of global warming and its effects highlights the need for all organizations to review their operating models. Tourism must make fundamental transformations to be more resilient on a technical, economic and health level. This resilience requires controlled consumption of flows but also optimized use of local resources to limit its vulnerability to external crises. The tourism sector still does not integrate the logic of operating in a circular economy into its activities.
+Our research program is aimed at joint-development of project ideas and pilots from entrepreneurs, while building the social network around them for successful design and implementation<sup>[1]</sup>. To enhance this, we are creating a - scientific based - practical toolkit for  the implementation of CE-solutions and are building the FACET-community.
-==== Bring stakeholders together with TTE ====
+==== Quadruple Helix ====
-Territorial tourism ecology is a new concept, which aims to bring tourism stakeholders together to consolidate the circular economy along the tourism value chain. Inspired by territorial industrial ecology, territorial tourist ecology (ETT) aims, through cooperation, to optimize resources in a given tourist area, whether energy, water, materials, waste but also equipment and expertise, knowledge and human resources.

-To be considered as an ETT project, a project must correspond to a pooling between several actors of the territory or a sector of resources, services or materials. This pooling should make it possible to limit environmental impacts, improve economic competitiveness and the attractiveness of territories and should involve players in the tourism value chain.

-==== A guide to help implement ETT ====
+==== The FACET-partnership ====
-The ETT implements operational approaches that can lead to three categories of actions (which can be cumulative): resource substitution synergies, resource or service pooling synergies, innovative activities. To help impelement ETT projects we created a guide. This practical guide of recommendations resulting from feedback from Hauts-de-France presents and defines the concept of territorial tourist ecology (ETT) and illustrates it via examples of projects implemented in different tourist sectors: catering, the management of pleasure boats and circular cycle routes. Recommendations on different aspects of setting up an ETT project are also shared.

-The information presented in this guide comes from the summary and analysis of projects supported by ADEME in Hauts-de-France for two years and foreign projects studied as part of the cross-border Interreg project FACET (Facilitate the Adoption of Circular Entrepreneurship in the Tourism and leisure sector). This project aims to encourage entrepreneurs in the tourism sector to implement circular solutions within their business, thus creating new sustainable revenue models.
-==== Conclusion of the document ====
+=== Opportunities ===
-The ETT can take many forms and involve a wide range of different actors (tourist offices, restaurateurs, accommodation providers, traders, tourist service providers, local authorities, tourists, etc.). As a result, there are as many ETT project configurations as there are volunteer project leaders. Any tourism actor is invited to use this concept to pool resources (means, services, materials) between tourism actors in the same territory. It is by seizing this circular logic that tourism will be able to limit its ecological footprint while improving the economic competitiveness of the actors and the attractiveness of the territory.
