Sustainability marketing: US hotels vs. international hotel chains
LANA K. BRACKETT AND B. NATHANIEL CARR II, ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY, USA
Purpose – To determine whether US-only Hotels and US-based International Hotel Chains similarly promote sustainability marketing.
Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative exploratory research study reviewing the Website Marketing of the US-only Hotels and US-based International Hotel Chains.
Findings – The research indicates that there are differences in the sustainability marketing of US-only Hotels and US-based International Hotel Chains
Research limitations/implications – The scope of the study is limited to US-only Hotels and US-based International Hotel Chains. A review of the hotel websites is the single metric used to determine sustainability marketing; this is not a complete review of such marketing activities. Future research could address these limitations and more importantly, should research the reasons for the differences in the sustainability marketing.
Originality/value – This is a unique research study. The hotel industry has a diverse body of stakeholders due to its large market and impact on sustainability.
