Biogas Plants as a Tool for Supporting Sustainable Tourism: Opportunities and Challenges in the Context of the Slovak Republic

strategic tools to facilitate sustainable tourism development within
the Slovak Republic, integrating key principles of the circular
economy, climate neutrality, and regional socioeconomic
advancement. It specifically focuses on the feasibility of
incorporating biogas installations into existing tourism
infrastructures, particularly in regions characterised by substantial
production of biodegradable waste. The research delineates pertinent
environmental, economic, and regulatory challenges encountered in
deploying biogas and biomethane systems in tourism-centric areas by
employing a comprehensive analysis encompassing contemporary
datasets, relevant case studies, and established international
methodologies. Moreover, the study articulates detailed policyoriented recommendations for governmental entities, regional
administrations, and private sector stakeholders to foster enhanced
synergy between renewable energy initiatives and tourism
development. The study's significance lies predominantly in its
interdisciplinary framework, which systematically integrates
perspectives from energy management, environmental governance,
and tourism studies. Additionally, it contributes an innovative
conceptualisation linking renewable energy utilisation directly to
tourism, thereby proposing a robust new paradigm for the evolution
of climate-conscious and circular tourism practices.
