Due to the complex nature of transitioning to a circular economy, research is required to investigate how it can be applied to the tourism sector in Ireland to make it more environmentally sustainable. Over the course of the next 3 years, 20FIFTY Partners will work closely with national stakeholders such as Fáilte Ireland in delivering a national roadmap for circular economy in the tourism sector with key deliverables including:
- Identify approaches and opportunities for integrating the circular economy into the tourism sector in Ireland.
- Develop suitable indicators for measuring the effectiveness of these approaches that can be applied at both national, regional, and local levels.
- Develop case studies from representative tourist areas in Ireland to explore where issues relating to the circular economy are arising, or may arise, and to recommend potential solutions.
- Develop a national roadmap for circular economy in the tourism sector in Ireland.
