Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today's society, it has become essential to fulfill the requirements of corporate social responsibility concurrently with corporate social impact. There is a widespread consensus that companies that strive for sustainability create long-term corporate profits. Accordingly, the importance of environment, social, and governance (ESG) operation and management performance is being increasingly emphasized in corporate evaluation. Currently, most multinational corporations, public enterprises and many private enterprises are evaluated for their performance in ESG via third-party reports and evaluation criteria. In addition, due to the outbreak of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the trend of eco-friendliness has continued around the world, and ESG-based management is emerging as a key to creating social value and sustainable management in companies in general and, more specifically, hospitality and tourism companies. Furthermore, ESG management strategies for the hospitality and tourism sector have become very important. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to address issues related to sustainability and ESG management in the hospitality and tourism sector, such as hotels, restaurants, food, travel firms, airlines, cruises, and casinos. It also focuses on developing strategies to improve the sustainable management and business performance of hotel and tourism companies. Therefore, this Special Issue calls for papers focusing on strategic ESG management and consumer behavior for sustainability in the hospitality and tourism sector. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
