<br/><br/> I. ABSTRACT<br/><br/>Green practices are one of the most important factors that help the environment. With their<br/>importance, people are starting to lean more towards green practices that would benefit any<br/>industry in the future, especially the hospitality industry. This study aimed to establish the<br/>sustainability of Environmental or green practices in selected hotels in Tagaytay City. A<br/>correlational quantitative method was used to test the interrelation between the demographic<br/>profile and green practices and sustainability. The researchers used a modified adapted survey<br/>questionnaire in the form of a Likert scale to identify the sustainability and competitiveness of<br/>green practices in any selected hotels in Tagaytay City in the aspect of 3Es (Economy, Ecology,<br/>Environment) to gather data. The questionnaires were administered directly to the research<br/>participants. After collecting all data, the frequencies of responses to each question were tallied<br/>and a percentage was obtained. Based on the findings, research indicated the respondents'<br/>generally positive outlook on the research studies have shown that a lot of hotels have adopted<br/>environmental or green practices in the hotel industry mainly including saving energy,<br/>reducing water consumption, and waste management and reduction. However, the study did<br/>not include all hotels in Tagaytay City. The results of this study showed that Table 2.1 indicates<br/>that the majority of the employee respondents highly observed that investment in climatefriendly energy and infrastructure is helpful for sustainability. 2.2 indicates that the majority<br/>of the team member respondents highly observed that the replacement of central air<br/>conditioning with individual air conditioning is helpful for sustainability and table 2.3 indicates<br/>that the majority of the employee respondents highly observed that provision of waste bins<br/>based on types of recyclable waste (3R) are helpful for sustainability. Additionally, Ecology<br/>and Economy have a higher mean of the results than the environment where sustaining the<br/>environment is more important. Based on the results of the study, the researchers developed/<br/>proposed an action plan for sustainable practices.
