Abstract |
|
In all aspects of human existence, sustainability is a
worldwide requirement. A sustainable approach to a pleasant
environment is required in all sectors of human activity,
including hotel amenities and services. The goal of this
study was to analyze sustainable green practices in hotels
in order to raise hotel managers' and tourists' knowledge of
green practices for sustainable hotel amenities and tourism
growth.
The data for this study was collected using a structured
questionnaire administered using purposive sampling. Each of
the 20 hotels selected for this study received eleven (11)
questionnaires, one for hotel managers and ten for guests,
totaling 220 questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential
statistical tests were used to examine the data.
In several hotels, visitors' awareness of green measures was
assessed. Out of the twenty-two (22) mentioned sustainable
green facilities, five (5) variables generated the highest
mean between (1.80) and (2.90).This indicates that guest
awareness of green practices in the hotel is limited to
energy-saving bulbs (2.90), low-flow water in the bathroom
and toilet, reusable plastics, towels, cutlery, and bedding
(2.70), eco-friendly retail (e-commerce or transact) (2.80),
repair and refurbishment (1.80), and purchase of local or
indigenous food in the hotel kitchen (2.30).The Chi-Square
test revealed a significant connection (P = 0.000) between
preference for green practices and hotel awareness of green
practices. However, there is a substantial link between
respondents' preference for green activities and their age
(P = 0.000), marital status (P = 0.000), and degree of
education (P = 0.000).To maintain a sustainable environment
and protection of our natural resources, the research
advises that sustainable green practices be incorporated
into our society as our mother tongue, expanded into hotel
facilities, and utilized as a standard for hotel licensing.
