The chapter is about the importance of green human resource management practices opted by the chain hotels and the budget hotels of Europe and their role in sustainability of the hospitality sector of Europe. The tourism of any country relies on the hospitality industry where the main issue is the usage of natural resources on large quantity and less awareness of green initiatives and renewable resources. Most of the hotels globally are owned by family businesses, and in most cases, the owners aren't aware of how many natural resources are being consumed, and how, by adoption of the green initiatives, they can reduce the emission of CO2, excess usage of water and electricity, wastage control, and participate in sustainability of their environment. The authors suggest the immediate need of government involvement and their leading role so that these family business hotels can use renewable energy resources and try to get the title of “eco-friendly” or “green.”
