This inception study was conducted as part of initiating the Tourovation Hub project and explores the challenges and opportunities for Nepali tourism enterprises in adopting innovative renewable energy (RE) and energy efficient (EE) solutions and business models to deliver resilient enterprises. There is demand for a significant shift in the way tourism enterprises in Nepal are conceived and operated. This includes rethinking the value proposition and strategic orientation of tourism enterprises in terms of the environment and society. This means designing and developing sustainable business models that are based on innovative low-carbon emission solutions, eco-efficient approaches, climate-resilient initiatives, cost reduction, and creation of green jobs. In this context, renewable energy (RE) and energy efficient (EE) innovations that include multi-stakeholder views and collaborations, along with business support services, have a vital role to play. This publication includes findings from an inception study we carried out to explore how Nepali tourism enterprises can adopt RE and EE solutions and approaches to become resilient.
