Abstract

According to recent estimates, Indian tourism will grow at 8.8 percent over the next 10 years, which would place India among the most rapidly growing tourism markets in the world. Hotels, which play a pivotal role in the growth of tourism, offer a great opportunity to implement energy efficiency measures, which could result in cost savings as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions
