Summary
Hotels in Kandy, Sri Lanka, have significantly adopted sustainability practices, particularly focusing on environmental and socio-cultural aspects. However, there is a notable gap in understanding how economic indicators relate to these sustainability commitments. Larger hotel chains demonstrate a more consistent implementation of sustainable practices compared to smaller ones. This research provides valuable insights for both future researchers and local hospitality practitioners by offering a comprehensive overview of the current state of sustainability practice adoption in Kandy.
