| Summary: | The article presents an analysis of electricity use in the tourism sector of Ivano-Frankivsk region. The territorial structure of electricity consumption distribution in the tourism sector across the regions of Ivano-Frankivsk region has been studied, and quantitative indicators of electricity use by the tourism sector over the last five years have been modeled. It has been demonstrated that as the number of tourists increases, the proportion of electricity consumed from the overall energy network also increases, as the share of electricity generated from renewable sources for self-sufficiency of the tourism sector is currently negligible. Analysis of global experience allows us to assert that the use of renewable energy sources is environmentally friendly, modern, safe, and resource-efficient, and is the path chosen by all developed countries. A review of information sources suggests that modern tourism development includes several aspects: reducing carbon footprint, reducing the impact on local ecosystems, and increasing economic benefits for local communities. It is important to understand that expenditures on ecology and nature conservation measures are not just unavoidable costs, but also investments in business. Such an attitude allows for benefits and profits. Investments in green technologies always pay off, as today’s modern tourists are willing to pay for comfort and ecology. The necessity of referring to global experience in using renewable energy sources in tourism is emphasized, and trends in implementing global experience in the practice of tourism industry in Ivano-Frankivsk region are analyzed.
