Sustainability-oriented Business Model: An Analysis of Sustainable Practices in the Context of a Luxury Hotel
Due to various ongoing environmental crises, there is an urgent need for sustainable solutions and initiatives, as it has become an imperative criterion for businesses to include in their operations.

With this theoretical framework, studying how individuals perceive Sustainable Business Models, and the activities performed within the industry, allows for this research to reveal the ...
