Abstract

The agro-tourism environmental sustainability and its circular economy approaches represent the keys for their future developments and also in term of tourists presences, thanks to their growing attractivity. Water is one of the most used “material” in agro-tourism structures for internal (drinking, cooking, cleaning, etc.) and outdoor use (for agriculture and green areas management). In the scientific literature, the outdoor water use was more studied with regard the agro-tourism structures. The aim of the present paper is first to check and understand how is managed the water consumption of an agro-tourism structure and after to propose solution for its reduction, all in agreement with circular economy concepts. Also, the role of tourists in helping, respect the rules and complying with the proposed solution will be considered. Results demonstrate that a proper maintenance can be obtained even introducing simplified devices. Moreover, a key factor is the tourist information at in agro-tourism structure. With a more technological effort, water can be managed to favor reuse (eg. grey water).
