The hospitality sector presents a variety of environmental aspects that, depending on the activity, may have a significant impact on the environment. Its users are consuming
resources such as energy and water on a daily basis and generating a great deal of solid
waste and effluents. The hotel industry, banking sector and hospitals are examples of some of
the sectors that provide us with more information on this issue. This work discusses the
main environmental impacts generated by the hospitality sector and highlights the possible
environmental strategies that can lead to improvements in environmental management in
this particular activity.
