Purpose

This study offers insights on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) initiatives of five international hotels, namely, Ibis Getafe, NH Hotels, Occidental Hotels and Resorts, Mariposa Hotel and the Zanzibar Collection. The objective is to show how hoteliers around the world engage in sustainable action. The paper mainly focuses on the Zanzibar Collection, where one of the co-authors served as a hotel general manager.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper draws on case studies and the narratives that are based on one of the co-authors’ life experiences. Data is derived from a number of case studies which are analysed in an exploratory and descriptive way.

Findings

The findings show that the hotel sector is committed to the SDG, but there are variations in the ways hotels address the SDGs. Based on the findings, it would seem that the hotels studied cover most of the SDGs, as they are seen contributing in the three main spheres of sustainability, namely, the economy, society and the environment.

Originality/value

The five hotels profiled are engaged in responsible action that is sustainable and reduces the ecological impact. These actions have a positive impact on guests, staff and hoteliers. The findings may serve as guidance to hotels which have not yet committed to implementing the SDG goals.

可持续发展目标和酒店业：案例和影响

目的

本研究提供了对五家国际酒店的可持续发展目标 (SDG) 倡议的见解，即宜必思赫塔菲酒店、NH 酒店、西方酒店及度假村、马里波萨酒店和桑给巴尔精选酒店。目的是展示世界各地的酒店经营者如何参与可持续行动。该论文主要关注桑给巴尔收藏，其中一位合著者担任酒店总经理。

设计/方法/方法

该论文借鉴了案例研究和基于合著者之一的生活经历的叙述。数据来源于以探索性和描述性方式分析的许多案例研究。

发现

调查结果表明，酒店业致力于实现可持续发展目标，但酒店实现可持续发展目标的方式各不相同。根据调查结果，所研究的酒店似乎涵盖了大部分可持续发展目标，因为它们被视为在可持续发展的三个主要领域做出了贡献，即经济、社会和环境。

原创性/价值

所描述的五家酒店都在采取负责任的行动，这些行动是可持续的，并减少了对生态的影响。这些行动对客人、员工和酒店经营者都有积极的影响。调查结果可为尚未承诺实施可持续发展目标的酒店提供指导。
