4.7.        Water consumption by tourism and recreation

Tourism and recreation is a special sub-sector, which is supplied with water from public water supply, and it includes various types of water uses, such as water use for hotel and accommodation services, food and restaurant services, spas, saunas and swimming pools, golf courses, parks and urban green spaces, outdoor sports and leisure activities at natural landscapes. Water quality can be an important concern for this sub-sector because it requires the supplied water needs to meet different types of criteria, e.g. fit for human consumption and skin contact, suitable for bathing, as well as aesthetic criteria (“landscape beauty”). For example, eutrophication or revelation of embankments, because of low flows and draw-down, can have negative experience to visitors (EEA, 2018b).
