        abstract = {This research explores how hotels are adopting environmentally friendly practices to attract guests who care about sustainability in South India. It explores why hotels are making these changes, how they're doing it, and the impact it's having.
Hotels are motivated to go green by more than just money. They want to be socially responsible, comply with laws, and protect the environment. Guests who care about the environment are influencing hotels to make these changes.
Getting employees involved is important for the success of these green initiatives. The study says that hotels need to communicate well and train their staff to make sure everyone is on board.
While cost is still a concern, guests are willing to pay more to stay in an eco-friendly hotel. Overall, the research shows that the hotel industry is moving towards more green practices, and it's important to keep researching and working together to keep making things better for the environment.
