Ingraining eco-efficiency as a core value in hotel employees through the management style of their leaders

Abstract

It is a commonly known fact that hotels have a direct negative impact on the environment Hotels bring about the displacement of natural inhabitants, generate waste, use up a lot of water and produce many other types of pollution. This puts pressure on fossil fuel usage, sewage systems and other aspects of infrastructure, and take up a substantial amount of space among countless other issues (Hossan, 2014). In the Mediterranean, tourism infrastructure and activity often have irreversible effects on natural areas rich in biodiversity, particularly those near the coast. This results in habitat deterioration of both terrestrial and aquatic plant and animal communities, as reported by the European Environment Agency in 2015 and again in 2020.
