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.

This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now widely agreed that the climate is changing, global resources are diminishing and biodiversity is suffering. Developing countries – many of them considered by the World Tourism Organization to be 'Top Emerging Tourism Destinations' (UNWTO, 2009) – are already suffering the full frontal effect of environmental degradation. The challenge for developing countries is a triple-edged sword, how can economic prosperity be achieved without the perpetual depletion of nature’s reserves, the destruction of rural habitat and the dislocation of traditional societies? Many emerging nations are looking increasingly to the tourism industry as the motor for economic development, with hospitality businesses at the forefront. This book uses twenty-five case studies to demonstrate how it is possible to create income and stimulate regional socio-economic development by using sustainable hospitality and tourism attractions. These case studies focus on issues such as the protection of indigenous cultures as a source of touristic curiosity; the preservation of the environment and the protection of endangered species – such as the plight of turtles in Sri Lanka or butterflies in Costa Rica to encourage tourism. Some cases cover government supported projects, for example, the green parks venture and regional tourism development in the Philippines, an archaeological park initiative in Honduras and the diversity of nature tourism in St. Vincent. Sustainable Hospitality and Tourism as Motors for Development is designed to give students, academics and practitioners a guide for best practices of sustainable hospitality operations in developing countries. Based on case studies, it provides a road map of how to achieve the goals of sustainability giving benchmark examples. The book not only taps into a contemporary business subject, but aims to provide readers with a better understanding of how sustainable theories can be put into practice in hospitality and tourism industries in developing countries.

Book excerpt: This book provides the first systematic and accessible text for students of hospitality and the culinary arts that directly addresses how more sustainable restaurants and commercial food services can be achieved. Food systems receive growing attention because they link various sustainability dimensions. Restaurants are at the heart of these developments, and their decisions to purchase regional foods, or to prepare menus that are healthier and less environmentally problematic, have great influence on food production processes. This book is systematically designed around understanding the inputs and outputs of the commercial kitchen as well as what happens in the restaurant from the perspective of operators, staff and the consumer. The book considers different management approaches and further looks at the role of restaurants, chefs and staff in the wider community and the positive contributions that commercial kitchens can make to promoting sustainable food ways. Case studies from all over the world illustrate the tools and techniques helping to meet environmental and economic bottom lines. This will be essential reading for all students of hospitality and the culinary arts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to examine the concept of sustainable culinary systems, particularly with specific reference to tourism and hospitality. Divided into two parts, firstly the notion of the local is explored, reflecting the increased interest in the championing of local food production and consumption. Secondly treatment of sustainability in food and food tourism and hospitality in settings that reach beyond the local in a business and socio-economic sense is reviewed. The book therefore, reflects much of the contemporary public interest in the conscious or ethical consumption and production food, as well as revealing the inherent tensions between local and broader goals in both defining and achieving sustainable culinary systems and the environmental, social and economic implications of food production and consumption.

However, the industry’s contribution to the sustainable development of our societies is still significantly smaller than it could be.

Each chapter uses specific cases and examples to reflect on different ways in which sustainability principles can be used for revisiting the host–guest relationship and improving the industry’s business processes and models. In doing so, the book provides current and future professionals with guidelines, inspiration and a call for action to take sustainability within the hospitality industry to the next level, based on inclusiveness, equality and a sustainable relationship with our natural environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism marketing has typically been seen as exploitative and fuelling hedonistic consumerism. Sustainability marketing can, however, use marketing skills and techniques to good purpose, by understanding market needs, designing more sustainable products and identifying more persuasive methods of communication to bring behavioural change. This book summarises the latest research on the theories, methods and results of marketing that seeks to make tourist destinations better places to live in, and better places to visit. It shares evidence on the motivations, mechanisms and barriers that businesses encounter, and on successes in changing consumer behaviour and pursuing sustainability goals. Particular attention is given to the methodologies of sustainable tourism marketing, to the subject’s breadth and complexity, and to its many innovations. Further research is called for to fully understand what contextual aspects influence these pro-sustainability interventions to achieve which outcomes in other settings, in order to validate some of the exploratory studies discussed, and establish the feasibility of scaling up pilot studies for more general use. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Sustainable Tourism.
