Stakeholders' motivation to adopt corporate social responsibility practices in the lodging industry in an island destination: Balearic Islands case study

Abstract

The lodging industry is very competitive and hotels have to search for new methods to attract clients. Some firms are applying social and environmentally friendly behaviour beyond what is required by law. The tourism industry is one of the most important sectors in the world's economy and the social and environmental responsibility is vital for this industry. This paper is an empirical work showing the motivation that hotel stakeholders located in islands have to adopt corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies. To prove the motivation, an index containing seven important social and environmental factors was created using three different approaches. The results show significant influence in some of the variables while no positive relations were found in other variables.

Evaluation of the Impact of Policymakers’ Decisions in the Management Capacity of Protected Areas: Efficiency Evidence from Five Countries

“…Despite some improvements in the protection of important areas, global biodiversity is decreasing significantly (Butchart et al 2010 ), which shows that not only it is important to increase the number of protected areas worldwide, but that it´s crucial to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their management. The challenge is to learn how to manage tourism growth, which generates income and jobs, while minimizing the negative impact that this sector has on the environment, conserving cultural heritage and local ecosystems (Blanke & Chiesa 2008 ; Valdivieso 2019 ).…”
