Abstract
The research was conducted to determine the implementation of green practices among accommodation establishments in Boracay Island (the Philippines) in terms of energy efficiency, waste savings, solid waste management, environmental supply and local procurement, natural resource management and material efficiency, and corporate business and environmental performance. It also investigated and analyzed the link between the level of green practices and organizations’ operational efficiency. This descriptive-correlational study surveyed hotel senior managers, managers, supervisors, and staffs in the island. The data was analyzed quantitatively and descriptively. Frequency, percentage, mean, and rankings were used as descriptive statistics, and Kruskal Wallis-Test and Spearman Rho were used as inferential statistics. The study revealed that, green approaches improve respondents’ commercial and environmental performance. There is a significant difference in green practice adoption when accommodation businesses are categorized by business type rather than by size, years in operation, or the number of workers. “Green practices” and the operational efficiency had a strong association. Businesses on Boracay use green methods, which they need to keep up and improve as they serve more tourists. This research suggests that private businesses and government institutions must work together for sustainable tourism development.
Keywords: Green Practices, Environmental, Performance, Boracay Island.
