Abstracts: India is rapidly becoming a preferred destination for tourism, both international as well as domestic, with an annual growth of about 15%. The hospitality sector is a major consumer of energy in different forms for various end-uses. There is significant scope for direct energy saving as well as complementing its energy supply through the installation of Solar Water Heating Systems and other Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs). Towards this, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched a unique initiative, titled “Campaign on Solar Water Heating and other Renewable Energy Technologies in the Hospitality Sector” under UNDP-GEF’s National programme on Solar Water Heating Systems (SWHS).
