Introduction
Green practices in the hotel industry are growing worldwide as it is one of the demands of the
customers over the last decades. By several studies, business leaders in different fields have
inserted effort to change their corporate culture and structures to be more environmentally-
friendly and responsible such as modifying their existing services embracing the green practices
or eco-friendly services. According to Sumaylo (2016), embracing green practices is not only a
cost-saving undertaking but also a wise utilization of the depleting resources and exhausts the
tradition of reusing, recycling and reducing. Hotels have integrated many environmental
strategies into their operations for over a decade. Those initiatives vary from recycling to buying
local items to introducing robust certification requirements for LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design). In Cebu City business park has a new development which includes a
range of eco-friendly features and has a registered structure named as Ecologically Responsive
Design Excellence (or Berde), a green building rating system. Today, ecotourism is growing
rapidly in nature-oriented and environment-focused tourism. It is a growing market for the
tourism industry's environmentally friendly choices Apart from ecotourism, many in the hotel
industry have acknowledged the negative environmental impact of their business activities and
have taken action to reduce those impacts. Environmentally responsible business practices fit
well with the newly discovered ecotourism success. They harmonize tourism and protection of
the climate. The term "green hotels" describes hotels that strive to be more environmentally
friendly by using energy, water and materials efficiently while providing quality services. By
saving water, reducing energy use, and reducing solid waste, green hotels recycle and preserve.
We saw advantages including lower costs and liabilities, high returns and low-risk investments,
increased profits, and healthy cash flows. Identifying these advantages and rewards has helped
green hotels to grow in popularity. Hotels are becoming more and more greener. In hotels, the
most expensive and wasteful use of resource is usually the use of non-renewable energy,
excessive water use, and waste production. Sustainability is one of the greatest problems in the
world. For every future manager in the hospitality industry, a clear understanding of the
problems concerning climate change, worldwide warming, air and water pollution, ozone
depletion, deforestation, biodiversity loss and worldwide poverty is crucial.
