Abstract

This project aims to empirically assess the nexus between renewable energy and rural tourism in Portugal. The object will be studied at two levels, considering the national framework of renewables and the local situated conditions in which renewable energy generation technologies (wind farms, solar farms, biomass power plants…) are located.
