Abstract

Notwithstanding the great environmental and operational issues facing Croatia’s hoteliers, very little is known about managers’ awareness of them. To fill this gap, this study examines the awareness of Croatian hoteliers of important environmental issues, e.g. the need to use natural resources efficiently, to preserve the cultural heritage, etc. Specifically, it reports on the attitudes of Croatian hoteliers towards the environment, and tests whether various hotel characteristics determine such attitudes. The article concludes that hoteliers tend to favour environmental issues, and that these attitudes are generally independent of hotel characteristics.
