Hotel industry in the context of responsible tourism development

Abstract

<p>Dru&scaron;tvena odgovornost u ugostiteljstvu, samim tim i hotelijerstvu, aktivnost je koja nije dovoljno zastupljena u Republici Srbiji. U svetu se velika pažnja poklanja ovoj problematici, dok u Srbiji ona &quot;čini svoje prve korake&quot;. Kako veliki globalni hotelijerski lanci, tako i mali nezavisni hoteli, prepoznali su važnost sprovođenja dru&scaron;tveno odgovornog poslovanja, ne samo zbog (diskutabilnog) dobročinstva, već pre svega zbog finansijskih i drugih dobiti koje im ona donosi. Cilj ove disertacije je da kod učesnika na turističkom (hotelijerskom) trži&scaron;tu pobolj&scaron;a razumevanje odnosa između životne sredine, dru&scaron;tvene odgovornosti i ekonomskog uspeha poslovanja. Namera je da se preporukama nastalim na osnovu rezultata ovog istraživanja utiče na formalne i neformalne institucije da uvedu ekolo&scaron;ke standarde u hotelijerstvo u Srbiji.</p>
