Abstract: The increasing importance of renewable energy in the service sector and specifically in the tourism industry has developed into a new research topic Renewable energy of course plays a significant role in tourism in many respects and especially in relation to such matters as energy efficiency sustainability and cost reduction To date however no systematically collated review of the literature dealing with the topic has appeared and so this study attempts to fill this gap in the literature by means of a content analysis of the research publications focusing on the use of renewable energy in the tourism industry Through a comprehensive review of the literature our study identifies what is known about renewable energy in the service sector in general and in the tourism industry in particular although it is clear from this that research into renewable energy in tourism is still at an early stage The aim of our study therefore is a better insight into the role of renewable energy in tourism mainly by examining accommodation and focusing on destinations We hope that the system based approach of our study will open more doors to renewable energy This in turn should support the basic principle of sustainability
