    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-29) Kevin Niyigaba
    The aim of this study is to examine the challenges and opportunities in implementing sustainable practices within hotel operations. Drawing on a review of literature and case studies, it identifies key barriers hindering the adoption of sustainability measures in hotels, such as cost concerns, lack of awareness, and organizational inertia. Additionally, it explores innovative strategies and best practices for overcoming these challenges and fostering a culture of sustainability in hotel management. The study highlights the importance of collaboration among stakeholders, including hotel owners, managers, employees, guests, and local communities, in achieving meaningful progress towards sustainable hospitality (Bohdanowicz 2008). Additionally, according to Gonzalez (2018) this study examines the multi-dimensional impact of sustainable practices within hotel operations, encompassing environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Drawing on empirical research and industry case studies, it evaluates the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives in conserving resources, enhancing community well-being, and improving financial performance. The study highlights the need for comprehensive measurement frameworks and indicators to assess the holistic impact of sustainable hotel operations. By providing evidence-based insights, this paper aims to support hotel managers, owners, and policymakers in making informed decisions and investments in sustainable initiatives vii
