Abstract

. This study aims to describe the current situation of the accommodation industry in Baler, Northern Philippines, evaluating it in terms of business and environmental sustainability. The author used the Input-Process-Output (IPO) paradigm for business operations assessment and compliance of performance with environmental laws. The study used descriptive research involving seventy-four (74) Department of Tourism-accredited establishments. A four-point Likert scale method was employed. The study results revealed that facilities for persons with disabilities (PWDs) and senior citizens lack quality; specific equipment is inaccessible, and water filtration systems are unavailable. The accommodation industry makes a significant contribution to the economy of Baler. However, there is a substantial increase in water consumption, energy consumption, and solid waste consumption. Therefore, the accommodation industry still needs changes, which can be implemented via additional investments and technology transfer, enhancing business and environmental sustainability. The LGU-Baler and accommodation industry may adopt the proposed business operational plan. A similar study may be conducted in the whole province of Aurora.

菲律宾北部Baler住宿业务的可持续性

本研究旨在描述菲律宾北部巴勒的住宿业现状，并从商业和环境可持续性方面对其进行评估。作者使用了输入-过程-输出（IPO）范式来评估企业运营和遵守环境法的绩效。该研究采用了描述性研究，涉及七十四（74）家经旅游部认可的机构。采用四点Likert量表法。研究结果显示，残疾人和老年人设施缺乏质量；无法使用特定设备，也无法使用水过滤系统。住宿业对巴勒的经济做出了重大贡献。然而，水消耗、能源消耗和固体废物消耗大幅增加。因此，住宿业仍然需要变革，可以通过额外投资和技术转让来实施，增强商业和环境的可持续性。LGU打捆机和住宿行业可采用拟议的业务运营计划。类似的研究可能会在整个奥罗拉省进行。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
