dc.description.abstract	Green practices are environmentally friendly practices that promote efficient use of water, energy and minimizing solid waste production while ensuring that quality service is provided in hotels. Green practices are based on the belief that establishing sustainable and responsible business practices is a basis for cutting down costs and obtaining loyal customers. Many hotels today are investing in environmentally friendly practices for various reasons, including environmental purity and sustainability for altruistic reasons, but most importantly for profitable reasons.	en_US
