ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN HOTELS
A number of hotels are now taking environmental issues seriously and are embarking on activities like recycling, water and energy conservation, environmental education, waste management and afforestation (the planting of trees). The growing environmental consciousness in the industry can be attributed to government regulation, changing consumer demand, advocacy and initiatives by Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and ethics by professional associations. Studies conducted by the International Hotels Environment Initiative (IHEI) and Accor revealed that 90 per cent of hotel guests preferred to stay in a hotel that cared for the environment.16 Environmental management in hotels also reflects a paradigm shift in the industry from mass tourism to sustainable tourism. It is a continuous process adopted through management decisions, through which an organisation's activities are monitored and appropriate programmes devised to reduce the negative environmental impacts.
