Abstract

Is Renewable Energy Governance (REG) finally capable to be used as a tool to achieve Endogenous Development within the Tourism Sector? Here, our effort is to challenge this question by critically assessing specific cases located within the Tourism industry, where various actors interact under specific conditions when the energy game comes to the forefront. Our final goal will be to question several REG schemes and explore which are the drivers affecting the specific relationship between sustainable tourism development and renewable energy (RE). This approach will help to identify processes that could facilitate the transformation of saturated tourism models to niche tourism markets and of exogenous threats to endogenous sustainability and development under certain conditions. We also question whether REG leads to endogenous tourism development or it is the endogenous tourism development that leads to RE exploitation. We conclude that things happen the second way.
