Abstract: One of the instruments that can lead to energy efficiency is the European Eco-labelling of certification which takes into consideration the whole life cycle of a product or of a service, thus reducing the negative impact on the environment. As far as the tourism department is concerned, this certification provides an extraordinary support, especially for small and medium-sized companies, such as hostels, motels or other similar structures, especially those placed in protected areas and in national parks, in order to be integrated into a European network of long-time tourism. This paper intended to determine to what extent the application of an ecological label to a tourist unit can be consistent with high energy efficiency, an aspect which can take the form of a bigger demand, as a result of the fact that such units support long-term development.
