Sustainability in Hospitality

The goal of Sustainable Development is clearly to secure economic development, social equity, and environmental protection. As much as they could work in harmony, these goals sometimes work against each other. The rapid development of good living, travel, and the consumer society has often resulted in less protection to the environment and to some groups of the world population. The players who have signed on for Sustainable Development include governments, non-government organizations, corporations, and high-profile individuals ranging from the Prince of Wales to Bill Gates The timing is excellent for media coverage of Sustainable Development initiatives. This book provides deep insight to various dimensions of issues relating to development of this subject.
