Abstract

The hospitality industry nowadays strives to be more responsible and environmentally friendly. Today, many accommodation establishments are boldly utilizing the green mark rating scheme to show that they participate in the fad of going green. Adopting green practices is not only a cost-cutting endeavor, but also about making smart use of finite resources and putting an end to the practice of reusing, recycling, and reducing. The purpose of this study was to assess the green practices used by the various accommodation establishments in Dapitan City. The questionnaire was based on the Best Environmental Practices (BEP) Guide, which consists of four programs to be evaluated in terms of water conservation or water efficiency, energy efficiency, solid waste minimization, and environmental purchasing. The study found out that green practices are evident among accommodation establishments in Dapitan City. Their willingness to adopt and put into practice green techniques suggests that there will be safe and enjoyable tourist activities in the city. Likewise, all participating accommodation establishments are Department of Tourism (DOT) accredited. It was recommended among accommodation establishments in Dapitan to consider the sustainability and continuous improvements of their practices.
