Abstract
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
