Download or read book Sustainable Hospitality and Tourism Management written by Margaret Ann MacLean and published by . This book was released on 2018-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, firms are increasingly being challenged to get involved in the sustainable development initiatives. This is because the world has woken up to the reality that the survival of the human race depends on our ability to conserve and preserve our environmental resources. The hospitality and tourism sector is both a victim and a perpetrator of the problem. In particular mass tourism and a failure to create appropriate facilities have led to the depletion of resources. The attitudes and behaviors of the stakeholders are also retrogressive in the sustainability course. At the same time, the actions taken by people in other sectors are likely to cause harm to other industries. Therefore amicable solutions must be found. Adoption of environmental management functions such as planning, coordination, control and directing of resources is likely to assist firms, nongovernmental organizations, and consumers in the hospitality and tourism industry to achieve sustainability goals. This cannot be achieved if the environmental issues in the contemporary world are not fully defined. Indeed, it is by comprehending the impact of issues such as climate change that sustainability goals can be developed. This book covers a range of issues that must be addressed to achieve sustainable hospitality and tourism management. It starts by highlighting the current environmental issues and possible solutions. Information on sustainable food systems, green building designs, waste management, certification, eco-labeling, and sustainable travel is then discussed. Finally, strategies for training employees on how to better understand and introduce sustainability are discussed. Case studies are included to demonstrate that sustainable development is achievable. This book demonstrates that everyone must take responsibility for making the necessary changes in dealing with the negative impact of climate change. Accordingly, the detail of the role of the consumer in the tourism sector is included, for instance, opting for green products and services when traveling is one of the recommendations made. The government's position regarding creating a mandate for sustainable tourism including policies and incentives is also addressed. Firms in this sector will also find information on corporate social responsibility measures and initiatives that could transform society. The book further suggests that other then playing individual or specific roles, the element of collaboration and partnerships amongst the governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and consumers in achieving sustainable development is critical. After reading this book, firms and individuals will have been challenged enough to become agents of change in the society. From the students to managers, policymakers, and researchers, this book is relevant. Constructive feedback and criticism are welcome. Book jacket.
