Tourism industry is strongly connected with economic growth and urban development especially in coastal areas. In particular, the total European Union (EU) coastal holiday business was appraised at a Gross Value Added of €159 bln, that is, close to one-third of its total maritime economy, while the total employment is almost 2.7 mln full-time equivalent jobs. In Europe alone, with more than 500 mln arrivals per year, the tourism industry represents nearly 12 mln direct jobs, within 2 mln enterprises, with the direct turnover to be around €610 bln per year. On the other hand, tourist development disturbs the metabolism of tourist areas mainly due to waste generation, use of local resources, and numerous elements of infrastructure that must be constructed and operated, most commonly during the summer months, to cover tourists’ needs. Unfortunately, existing data are scarce and mostly based on tourism industry as a whole, lacking a destination-based focus at this point, that would highlight the adverse environmental effects imparted on specific tourism areas.

旅游业采取循环经济战略的步骤

旅游业与经济增长和城市发展密切相关，尤其是在沿海地区。特别是，欧盟 (EU) 沿海度假业务的总增值为 1,590 亿欧元，接近其海运经济总量的三分之一，而总就业人数接近 270 万全职同等职位。仅在欧洲，每年有超过 5 亿人次入境，旅游业就代表了近 1200 万个直接就业岗位，在 200 万家企业中，每年直接营业额约为 6100 亿欧元。另一方面，旅游开发扰乱了旅游区的新陈代谢，主要是由于废物产生、使用当地资源以及必须建造和运营的众多基础设施要素，最常见的是在夏季月份，以满足游客的需求。很遗憾，
