Abstract
This paper presents the benefits accruable from the use of renewable energy sources for energy generation in tourist destinations as against the present means used in getting electricity which has disadvantages like noise pollution, insecurity of supply and other environmental problems. The tourism industry is a global phenomenon that has been growing rapidly over the past decades, particularly in the developed countries. Today, tourism is one of the single largest business sector in the world economy, creating employment, providing new business opportunities both locally and globally. The means of electricity supply should therefore be of a great concern to the people as power is a well-known important factor for tourism development. Different renewable energy sources were listed and their operational performance explained. With this, a comparison was thereby made with the dominant source of energy generation (fossil fuels, hydro power plants, Gas turbines and so on). It was then seen that several benefits would arise in the usage of renewable energy sources in tourist attractions. This will go a long way in helping the country, the management of the tourist attraction and also the individual customer.
