Abstract
Many WTE power plants have been developed through PPP arrangements; however, little attention has been paid in the academic literature to the impact of tourism to WTE utilities performance. This paper analyzes the influence of tourism to a waste-to-energy public-private partnership (WTE PPP) through the case study of Mallorca, an internationally renowned summer seaside destination. The analysis of Mallorca's experience shows that tourism strongly influences management costs of WTE facilities and PPP contracts still needs to adapt the tariff system to promote better performance of the public service.
