Environmental Measures in Accommodation Facilities in the Polabi Area

Original language description

Accommodation facilities are key tourism actors and therefore cause considerable impacts. Stakeholders get involved in various voluntary programs, where they seek appropriate measures by which to contribute to improving the environment at the local and national level. A lot of accommodation facilities are turning green at an increasing rate due to an unprecedented reason, which is not directly based on profitability, longevity, or sustainability. We can state that applying the elements of green management and sustainable development principles are characteristic trends in accommodation services. The aim of this paper is to analyze the application of environmental measures in selected accommodation facilities in the Czech Republic focusing on Polabí area. The primary survey was conducted since June 2017 until October 2017 and we used questionnaire survey (PAPI, CAPI, and CAWI) to obtain primary data. We used the methods of scientific work; and i.e.; the analysis method, a generalization method, mathematical, and statistical methods. A total of 47 accommodation facilities participated in this research and they reached the best results with sorting containers, dual flash toilet, and compact fluorescent lamps and LED lamps. Based on the ascertained facts, we state that accommodation facilities in the Polabí area should definitely invest more funds in the green initiatives and acquaint employees and guests with this philosophy. Moreover, we think, accommodation facility, managed in such way is internally stable and robust, which support its planning and improvement processes. Anyway, in a few years, it is certain that environmental protection will become a legal obligation for accommodation facilities. In our opinion, be proactive already now and start from this moment on. It is time for the hotel industry to accept its environmental responsibilities to reduce the environmental impact of international tourism.
