Green Hotels

Green hotels emphasize safety, health, and environmental friendliness and advocate for green operations, green consumption, environmental protection, and the reasonable consumption of resources in operations. In short, environmental protection and moderate resource consumption are underscored. The literature on green hotel criteria and competitive strategies has two shortcomings. Some studies assume the independence of each criterion; these criteria are not mutually influential or causally related. By contrast, other studies set equal weights for all criteria. The present study explored the criteria and competitive strategies of green hotels by combining the importance-performance analysis (IPA) and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method into the IPA-DEMATEL model.

  Insight Journal Vol. 7 DOI: 10.24191/ij.v7i1.58 This research study is endeavoured to discover the factors that will lead the consumers’ staying intention at green hotels, especially of those who practise the Shariah Law (Islamic green hotels). Nowadays, there has been an increase in public concern regarding environmental issues. Consumers are more environmentally aware than they were in past decades. Hotels are among the largest contributors of energy consumers in the tertiary building sector, which contribute to some negative impacts to the earth at the same time. The most obvious negative impact of hotels on environment are solid waste generation and disposal. Therefore, numerous consumers are supportive of green consumption and consider it as a successful method to protect the environment. In Islamic green hotels, Muslim-friendly amenities have also been provided to protect Muslims travellers’ welfare that is by providing them a comfortable prayer room, the Holy Quran and Islamic practices booklets, prayer mats and a direction of Qibla. A set of questionnaires was distributed to 256 respondents among the community and tourists in Kuching, Sarawak. The dependent variable in this study was consumers’ staying intention while the independent variables were green image, green satisfaction, Muslim amenities and lifestyle and price fairness. This research study also made use of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software to analyse the result based on the questionnaires distributed to the respondents. Based on the result of analysis, it is shown that the green image and green satisfaction were found of having a positive significant that influence the consumers’ staying intention at the Islamic green hotels. Besides that, Muslim amenities and lifestyle was also found to have a positive significant impact that influences the consumers’ staying intention. Most Muslims were likely to choose a destination with Islamic practice to fulfil their daily duties. However, green price fairness did not significantly influence the consumers’ staying intention. This is because if green image, green satisfaction, Muslim amenities, and lifestyle meet the requirements of the Muslim tourists, they would not be affected by the price. As a matter of fact, price may be the least factor of consideration by the tourists in choosing a hotel to stay.

Symbolic Data

In data mining, we generate class/cluster models from large datasets. Symbolic Data Analysis (SDA) is a powerful tool that permits dealing with complex data (Diday, 1988) where a combination of variables and logical and hierarchical relationships among them are used. Such a view permits us to deal with data at a conceptual level, and as a consequence, SDA is ideally suited for data mining. Symbolic data have their own internal structure that necessitates the need for new techniques that generally differ from the ones used on conventional data (Billard & Diday, 2003). Clustering generates abstractions that can be used in a variety of decision-making applications (Jain, Murty, & Flynn, 1999). In this article, we deal with the application of clustering to SDA.

To investigate the green hotel’s visitors’ decision-making process, this study provides a fresh insight into existing knowledge related to Pakistani consumer’s beliefs regarding green practices, attitude toward green behavior, overall image, and behavioral intentions. Using Structural Equaltion Modelling (SEM) on a sample size of 372 Pakistani Lodging consumers, a test model confirmed that attitudes towards green behaviour have a positive influence on the overall image of green hotel, intention to visit green hotels, and willingness to pay more for green hotels. Moreover, environmental and luxury beliefs have a positive influence on attitudes and intentions about visiting green hotels, and willingness to pay more for green hotels. Furthermore, attitude towards green behaviour and overall image of green hotels have mediating roles exist in that test model, which is a unique contribution to the knowledge body. These outcomes are expected to help Pakistani marketers and managers, especially green management practitioners, to recognize more subjective initiatives for entering international and local segments.

In all areas of human activity, decision-making based on data analysis is very important. As the availability of data grows, it becomes critical to educate not only traditional students but also those individuals who are now in the workforce, as many of them are expected to manage the complex data streams and to provide evidence and guidance for organizational action. We consider several technological tools that prepare the learners with data analytic skills. Among them are data analysis and visualization tools, Six Sigma, and operations research methods. We provide a survey of respective software systems suitable for a broad audience.

This study aimed to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry. We examined the interplay between consumers’ fear and uncertainty of COVID-19, their trust in green hotel brands, and their behavioral intentions in relation to staying at green hotels. Analysis of 613 completed responses to a survey instrument revealed that fear and uncertainty of COVID-19 have increased consumers’ environmental concerns and green hotel brand trust, which in turn have promoted their willingness to pay more and willingness to make sacrifices to stay at green hotels. The paper contributes to research on green consumption behavior in the hotel industry during the COVID-19 pandemic.
