Chapter Chapter 8 in Managing the Transition to a Circular Economy, 2024, pp 79-87 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines the significance of circular economy (CE) in the context of the tourism industry in Castellón, Spain. Tourism plays a vital role in the country’s economy, contributing a substantial share to the GDP and generating employment opportunities. However, the environmental impact of tourism, including waste management and pollution, poses significant challenges. Adopting a CE approach becomes crucial in minimizing waste, optimizing resource utilization, and promoting sustainability. The chapter explores the concept of CE, its potential benefits, and its role in creating a more sustainable tourism model. It emphasizes the need for active participation from both producers and consumers to shift away from a linear economy mentality. The chapter also highlights the positive economic, environmental, and social outcomes associated with CE, including job creation and enhanced well-being. By showcasing good practices and a case study of a hotel in Castellón, this chapter aims to promote awareness and encourage the transition towards a fairer and more environmentally friendly tourism model.
