| Tiivistelmä: | This study investigated the nature of environmental protection, waste management, purchasing, energy use, and conservation practices of hotels in Ankara, Turkey. The data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings indicate that the policies and practices of Ankara hotels generally lack attributes relevant to environmental protection and conservation, and that hotel managers mostly lack the necessary environmental knowledge and interest to meet the basic objectives of social and environmental responsibility. Thus, it is necessary to develop an integrated system of policy and practice that involves not only the hotel management and staff, but also all parties concerned with environmental protection and sustainability. Furthermore, the study calls for re-evaluation and reconsideration of national, local, and hotel policies, as well as training activities. |
