Dear colleagues,
I am contacting you with regard to a new book from Greenleaf Publishing which I think will be of interest to members of this listserv.
Sustainability in Hospitality: How Innovative Hotels are Transforming the Industry represents the most complete collection yet on how the hospitality industry is addressing sustainability and ethical issues. It features global viewpoints on embedding sustainability into the hospitality industry, and the impact this could have on transforming the sector into an advocate for more sustainable, eco-conscious tourism.
Edited by Miguel Angel Gardetti and Ana Laura Torres, the book has been described as providing "a profound academic understanding of current sustainability challenges as well as examples of management practices and hands-on tools" - Prof. Dr. Willy Legrand, IUBH School of Business and Management
If you are interested in reviewing this book or considering it for adoption, you can request review and inspection copies via this link: http://www.greenleaf-publishing.com/productdetail.kmod?productid=4095
I'd be really pleased to hear any feedback or answer questions; please contact me directly with any review opportunities.
With best wishes,
Rhian
