The document “The Road to Climate-Neutral Tourism”, published in October 2022 by NBTC, outlines a comprehensive strategy for achieving climate-neutral tourism in the Netherlands by 2050. It provides a detailed analysis of current CO2 emissions from tourism-related activities and highlights the complexity of addressing these diverse sources. The roadmap sets interim targets for 2030, aiming for significant emission reductions through improved efficiency and sustainable practices, with the ultimate goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Key strategies include promoting sustainable transport, making accommodations more energy-efficient and encouraging responsible tourism practices. Additionally, it advocates for innovation, technology adoption, education and financial support to drive these changes, while also addressing risks such as over-reliance on future technologies and the gap between consumer awareness and action.
