“…The results are in line with previous studies (Mensah, 2006;Brătucu, et al, 2017;Tomaszewska, et al, 2021;Popescu, et al, 2021;Çelik and Çevirgen, 2021) showing that sustainable practices are often summarized in the easiest actions. Ecocerification is still a niche market due to the information required, the time and money, and the interest of the owners.…”

Sustainable practices are becoming a necessity in a world that is depleting natural resources at an accelerated level. In tourism, the accommodation service is essential and can be a starting point for the implementation of these practices. The article aims to investigate the interest of managers/owners of boarding houses and agrotourism boarding houses in Romania for certain aspects related to sustainability: use of organic products, energy savings, selective collection, employee training, and marketing campaigns. The results reveal a high level of selective waste collection and a reduction in the use of toxic products, while the certification of sustainable practices is lower. However, based on the values obtained, we appreciate that managers' interest in sustainability is high, especially since we are talking about small organizations. The originality of the approach comes from the fact that no national coverage research has been carried out on these forms of accommodation on the topic of practices related to sustainability. The results can help managers to relate to the market average and decide what actions they need to take regarding sustainability practices. It also helps other stakeholders, such as customers or authorities, to see the level of implementation and interest in providing environmentally friendly services.

“…As already mentioned by previous studies, SMEs have lower economic power (Metzker et al, 2021a), lower amount financial resources and assets (Civelek et al, 2020;Kliuchnikava, 2022;Rashed & Ghoniem, 2022), lower number of high quality workers (Hazudin et al, 2022;Siregar et al, 2022), more fragile structure (Civelek & Krajčík, 2022;Dvorsky et al, 2021) that cause them facing with more financial (Civelek et al, 2021;Ključnikov et al, 2021) and exporting problems (Ključnikov et al, 2022), higher costs (Çelik & Çevirgen, 2021;Bittucci et al, 2021;Msomi & Nzama, 2022), when implementing their market and financing decisions into the practice (Dvorský et al, 2020;Kocisova et al 2018;Samanta, 2022). In this regard, investigation of suitable statistical demand forecasting model for both SMEs and large enterprises might create a value addition for the related academic literature.…”

Demand forecasting is one of the biggest challenges of post-pandemic logistics. It appears that logistics management based on demand prediction can be a suitable alternative to the just-in-time concept. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of AI-based and statistical forecasting models versus practice-based models for SMEs and large enterprises in practice. The study compares the effectiveness of the practice-based Prophet model with the statistical forecasting models, models based on artificial intelligence, and hybrid models developed in the academic environment. Since most of the hybrid models, and the ones based on artificial intelligence, were developed within the last ten years, the study also answers the question of whether the new models have better accuracy than the older ones. The models are evaluated using a multicriteria approach with different weight settings for SMEs and large enterprises. The results show that the Prophet model has higher accuracy than the other models on most time series. At the same time, the Prophet model is slightly less computationally demanding than hybrid models and models based on artificial neural networks. On the other hand, the results of the multicriteria evaluation show that while statistical methods are more suitable for SMEs, the prophet forecasting method is very effective in the case of large enterprises with sufficient computing power and trained predictive analysts.

“…One obstacle to sustainable tourism development's success is unclearly defined stakeholders' responsibilities in the destination. Managers of accommodation enterprises consider themselves responsible for protecting and developing the environment (Necati et al, 2021). Rural tourism is currently one of the most dynamic segments of tourism demand, and rustic accommodation is one of the most demanded.…”

“…A study on the role of accommodation enterprises in developing sustainable tourism is expected to contribute significantly to the field. Deficiency of planning, mainly performing ecologically sustainable business practices and the necessity of an effective governance system are among the implications (Celik & Cevirgen, 2021). A sustainability-oriented service innovation model is recommended, recognizing the characteristics of a service industry where innovation can be an organic process led by humans for humans and consequently fuzzier in its progress than the clearly defined steps suggested.…”

This study aims to describe the current situation of the accommodation industry in Baler, Northern Philippines, evaluating it in terms of business and environmental sustainability. The author used the Input-Process-Output (IPO) paradigm for business operations assessment and compliance of performance with environmental laws. The study used descriptive research involving seventy-four (74) Department of Tourism-accredited establishments. A four-point Likert scale method was employed. The study results revealed that facilities for persons with disabilities (PWDs) and senior citizens lack quality; specific equipment is inaccessible, and water filtration systems are unavailable. The accommodation industry makes a significant contribution to the economy of Baler. However, there is a substantial increase in water consumption, energy consumption, and solid waste consumption. Therefore, the accommodation industry still needs changes, which can be implemented via additional investments and technology transfer, enhancing business and environmental sustainability. The LGU-Baler and accommodation industry may adopt the proposed business operational plan. A similar study may be conducted in the whole province of Aurora.
