The impact of climate change on water use in the tourism sector: adaption Katerina Charalambous Research Assistant Energy, Environment and Water Research Center The Cyprus Institute

Importance of Tourism to Cyprus  In 2009 – Number of tourist arrivals: approx 2.2M – Revenue: €1,493M – Number of jobs: 38,000 – Share of GDP: 15-20% ( )  Water use – Tourism: 465 L/d/capita (Domestic : 215 L/d/capita) – Design of desalination plants based on peak demand of urban and tourism sector  Swimming pool evaporation for in Limassol town: 4.4 L/m²/d

Global tourist water consumption values

Cyprus hotel water management survey  Objective – To assess the impact of and adaptation to climate change on water use and supply in the tourist sector in Cyprus  Methods – Web-based survey sent out to 320 addresses on the CTO list of tourist accommodation – 23 responses received (7%)

Location of accommodation

Accommodation size (no. of beds)

Affected by water shortage

Access to own water supply

Swimming pools

Disposal of wastewater

Water saving devices

Water saving habits

Garden irrigation

Factors affecting tourist arrivals

15 year projection

Future plans

Conclusions  Survey results indicated that: – Water shortage has had an impact on hotels – Hotels are applying measures to save water – Many do not have future plans with regards to this matter – The majority of the respondents do not expect a decrease in tourist numbers  More research is needed to evaluate opportunities and constraints for hotel water saving
