Strengthening Energy Efficiency Policy Implementation in the Tourism Sector
Department of Energy and Department of Tourism Partnership
Designed for tourism operators, Designated Establishments, government units, and energy practitioners, this initiative aims to broaden awareness of the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Act (RA 11285) and guide stakeholders through DEOS Portal compliance. By conducting onsite verifications to evaluate active energy measures and pinpointing gaps for actionable correction, the program seeks to foster sustainable practices and institutionalize long-term coordination between the DOE, DOT, and the wider tourism sector.
