Why sustainability matters: the important of sustainability practices in the hospitality and tourism industry

Abstract

The earth we inhabit is a gift from God that needs to be cherished and taken care of. The existing earth is complete with unlimited and limited resources, as well as renewable and non-renewable resources for us to carry out activities for survival. However, the earth also has its capacity and limits. Population growth around the world results in over consumption that can erode the balance and resources on earth. In addition, economic and daily activities among households are able to cause climate change, which results in various negative effects on the balance of the ecosystem. Thus, sustainability has become the mainstay of every policy formulation and become the orientation for government organisations, NGOs, and so on.
