Abstract
Environmental issues are now a concern in many industries including the food service and hospitality industries. This paper examines environmental issues in hotels in the newly developed tourist areas of the Sinai and Red Sea. Various environmental issues were studied including environmental practices, managers attitudes towards environmental issues, future environmental practices and anticipated hotel profitability resulting from applying environmental practices. Results show an opportunity to promote environmental practices in hotels and a high level of awareness and willingness of managers to preserve the environment.
