A global competition was organized by ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and supported by Telefónica and Research In Motion to identify innovative applications that can help improve energy efficiency and combat climate change.

A special mention was made by the jury to the application “Effi-e Play Green”, presented by Turisfera (Spain), pilot proyect in which the Hotel Tigaiga actively participates.

These applications touch upon related issues such as raising awareness of the impact that lifestyles have on the environment, monitoring energy and water consumption in hotels, promoting car sharing and sharing traditional and indigenous knowledge on biodiversity and conservation.
