This study aims to provide new insights into the academic literature on sustainability in the tourism industry and to provide practical insights for practitioners to improve the sustainability of their operational practices. Qualitative methods were used by presenting international articles from international journals related to the topic. This study explores the concept of green hotels and analyzes the sustainable practices they implement. The results provide a better understanding of how the hospitality industry can improve their operational sustainability. This study also provides practical insights for practitioners to improve their operational sustainability by understanding the best practices implemented by green hotels. It is important for the hospitality industry to continue exploring the concept of green hotels and encourage the adoption of sustainable practices to reduce environmental impact, enhance competitiveness, reduce long-term operational costs, and improve guest experience.
