Application of Environmental Management Measures in Accommodation Facilities: Evidence From Czechia

Original language description

Trends in accommodation services in recent years include an approach to ecology and the principles of sustainable development. These trends manifest mainly in large hotel companies, but independent hotels and guesthouses with a smaller bed capacity are also trying to go green. The goal of this article is to analyze the application of environmental measures in selected accommodation facilities in Czechia (administrative district Žďár and Sázavou). The questionnaire was evaluated as the most suitable data collection method to answer the research questions. Accommodation facilities (n = 47) were contacted from November 2022 to March 2023, and the selection set consisted of 33 accommodation facilities. The method of correspondence analysis was used for the evaluation, and the STATISTICA 12 software was used for graphical representation. The results indicate minimal differences in the number of environmental measures implemented between collective accommodation facilities, i.e., hotels and guesthouses. The categories of apartments, and cottages & chalets achieved reasonable results. However, they did not apply more than half of the environmental measures concerning employees and guests. On the other hand, the star rating of accommodation facilities is not a key parameter in the environmental impact assessment. The research results are helpful for the practice of national professional associations that promote resource conservation and thus influence the entire hospitality industry. Furthermore, they can be used by other accommodation facilities to gain information on sustainability issues or examples of best environmental practices.
