EHotCat represented a feasibility study on the necessary aspects for developing a master plan that adapts and implements the German Energy Campaign for the hotel and catering industry in India. The primary aim of this campaign involved mitigating climate change by achieving a fundamental reduction in greenhouse gas emissions generated by the hotel and catering industry.
The first feasibility study laid the political and technical groundwork for a mutual beneficial energy campaign and brought together stakeholders that are directly and indirectly involved in the hotel and catering business, which includes the state ministries, agencies and departments, as well as private institutes, companies and associations. The project focused on the essential aspects for the development and deployment of a master plan including the organisational, technical and financial setup of the energy campaign. Previous implementation of a similar campaign in Germany’s hotel and catering industry achieved huge success, environmentally and economically.
