Abstract

The expansion of the tourist industry is part of the worldwide tourism trend. Tourism is a significant contributor to local economy by generating employment and investment opportunities; however, this massive rise has been the primary cause of several negative economic, social, and environmental, consequences. It is estimated that most of the environmental impacts caused by the hospitality industry can be attributed to excessive consumption of natural resources such as energy and water, along with solid waste production and air missions. The hospitality sector consumes 5% of global water use, emits 5% of global GHG emissions, and accounts for 20% of total carbon emissions. Taking this into consideration, an alternative future for tourism and hospitality under Sustainable Development and Circular Economy is crucial for both long-term cultural preservation and the social harmony of host societies. This study aims to emphasize the significance of key waste metrics such as Key performance indicators and other tools for quantifying sustainability performance in the hospitality industry for a comprehensive view of the industry's impact on sustainability pillars.

关键绩效指标的重要性,以校准废物战略在酒店业
旅游业的扩张是世界旅游业趋势的一部分。旅游业通过创造就业和投资机会为当地经济做出了重要贡献;然而,这种大规模的增长是造成一些负面经济、社会和环境后果的主要原因。据估计,酒店业造成的大部分环境影响可归因于能源和水等自然资源的过度消耗,以及固体废物的产生和航空任务。酒店业消耗了全球5%的用水,排放了5%的全球温室气体,占总碳排放量的20%。考虑到这一点,在可持续发展和循环经济下,旅游业和酒店业的另一个未来对东道国社会的长期文化保护和社会和谐至关重要。本研究旨在强调关键废物指标的重要性,如关键绩效指标和其他量化酒店业可持续发展绩效的工具,以全面了解该行业对可持续发展支柱的影响。
