Abstract

But before this, the current situation of climate emergency that we are experiencing, both globally and locally, is exposed. In addition to the impacts of tourism and the measures we can take in terms of circularity and sustainability. A series of certificates focused on the matter that concerns us, such as EMAS, the EU Ecolabel and the Green Key, are presented. Then, to get into the subject, the concepts of circular economy and the whole series of procedures that must be carried out to make a hotel known as a circular hotel, such as the circularity plan and the circular assessment, are presented. A summary is also given of the measures described in the Decree Law 3/2022 with respect to the areas identified as priorities: energy, water, waste, and food. To conclude, the 360 Hotel and all the facilities and initiatives taken to be a circular and sustainable hotel are presented.
