This new book focuses on the important concern of sustainability in tourism and hospitality industry. As the world's natural resource base is limited, the world is looking for solutions in the domains of energy, water, alternate building materials, resource redeployment, and sustainable livelihoods as well. The tourism and hospitality industry is a large deployer of natural and created resources.

Some of the themes the book addresses include:

designing sustainable restaurants
sustainable accommodation practices
designing green hotels
energy conservation in hotels- a Green Approach
technology and sustainability
marketing sustainability to consumers
sustainable culinary practices
sustainable employee practices
sustainable equipment design for the hospitality industry
sustainable tourism practices
sustainable transport practices
sustainable tourism destinations/cities

The book takes sustainability beyond the realms of external factors that matter to an organization. The authors look at various constituents of the hospitality sector and analyze each of those from a sustainability standpoint. The book includes case studies that are global in nature and that show how sustainable applications can be used and how concerns can be addressed. Environmental challenges are also discussed.

This book is futuristic with lot of practical insights for the students, faculty, . and practitioners. Since the contributors are from across the globe, it is fascinating to see the global benchmarks.

Industry Reviews

"The vast range of contributions inevitably highlights many interesting case studies and best practice that can be used by tourism and hospitality students and practitioners for inspiration. . . . Its diversity and breath also constitute its main strength, and the book can be a useful addition to the libraries of tourism and hospitality educational institutions, particularly the ones of a more technical nature."
