| dc.description.abstract | Energy accounts for a major share of the operational costs in the hotel sector in Sri Lanka. For cost saving and environmental conservation aspects, proper energy management has become an important area that needs policy attention. The present paper aims to assess the level of adoption of energy management practices and to identify the determinants of such adoption. The analysis is based on primary data collected from registered hotels in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. The sample includes 78 hotels. The results indicate that, on average, hotels adopt 3.7 good energy management practices. The adoption of good energy management practices is determined by the hotel characteristics such as number of employees per room, age, chain affiliation, size and customer characteristics such as the origin and the purpose of visit. Policy attention should be particularly on motivating small hotels, independent hotels and newer hotels to adopt good energy management practices. | en_US |
