Abstract

This study examines the green practices in the hotels of district swat. The data is analyzed through descriptive statistics. The data is collected from selected hotels using simple random sampling technique. The results indicate that majority of the hotels do not intend to bring any sustainable practices rather their primary aim is to reduce the cost and generate more profits. While doing so, most of the hotels used solar system and adopt other energy control measures which can be termed as a blessing in disguise. Most of the hotels lack environmental friendly facilities such as electric card control system, automatic lighting in corridor facility, glass and paper recycling. Besides other environmental friendly practices , the hotels need take prior steps to reduce the consumption of water and develop waste disposal mechanism.
