- Reduce energy consumption in all sectors through energy conservation and efficiency, in order to<br />
provide better services while reducing costs and impacts, and<br />
- Promote energy production from locally available renewable resources in order to cover as far as<br />
possible energy needs from these decarbonised sources.<br />
The City of <strong>Luxor</strong> - Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> developed and announced a Strategic Plan 2017, which promotes<br />
many projects in the areas of infrastructure. The strategy is centred on the objective of promoting <strong>Luxor</strong> as a<br />
green city.<br />
The vulnerability analysis of the City of <strong>Luxor</strong> indicates among 10 receptors including tourists, that Tourism<br />
is ranked the highest risk (level 1) in terms of probability and impact. Hence, it is essential to improve the<br />
energy profile of the tourism sector in order to support the ambition of profiling <strong>Luxor</strong> as sustainable tourism<br />
destination.<br />
The Sustainable and Green Tourism Plan (SGTP) will work to greening hotels and resorts, inviting them to<br />
operate on clean energy incorporating solar PV panels and SWH systems instead of using fossil fuels.<br />
The City of <strong>Luxor</strong> wants to expand the natural gas network to reach more hotels and resorts. Natural gas<br />
should be seen as a complement to renewable energy. The Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> also intends to support the<br />
Sustainable and Green Tourism Plan by raising awareness of all hotel owners, management, including staff<br />
and users on the impact of climate change, as well as the importance of measures to green hotels and resorts,<br />
supporting the conversion of the city to be a world-class tourists’ destination.<br />
This Priority Action #4 is in line with the vision and strategy of the Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> and supports its<br />
implementation.<br />
