Through qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with hotel employees in Cape Town (<em>n</em> = 18), this paper reveals how internal conservation campaigns not only reduced water use, but also helped mitigate economic impacts, eased political tensions, and upheld their excellent standing among visitors. Our results suggest that during severe water crises, hotel managers can model and enforce water conservation efforts while maintaining customer satisfaction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34520,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666957924000296/pdfft?md5=80ab6ecdb0ad00f377e4a6716ab3278a&pid=1-s2.0-S2666957924000296-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141324593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Johansen's cointegration and error correction model results support the long-run relationship among the variables. All the independent variables are unidirectional causal on GDP except investment in tourism, which shows long-run bidirectional causality.
