* *Sustainability and Innovation have become increasingly important
topics of interest for academe, society, organizations, and governments.
Innovative, sustainable practices can help businesses perform better while
satisfying all three Ps: people, planet, and profit. By merging innovation
and sustainability through a focus on “eco-innovation,” as part of
corporate, social, and environmental responsibility, one can create added
value for all stakeholders while concurrently reducing environmental
impact. For this reason, sustainable operation is vital for
competitiveness, economic advantage, and for addressing social issues in
general. Moreover, such efforts lend direct support for ‘Doing good while
doing well’, a central business *mantra* of the 21st century. **
From the business point of view, it is also a great time to
enable companies to increase their investment and identify revenue sources
in this field. Hospitality companies are cognizant of the importance of
innovation and a proactive environmental approach to successful operation.
Consequently, hospitality and tourism organizations are striving to be
eco-friendly while maintaining their competitive edge financially. In
support of this effort, we* are seeking research that helps hospitality
organizations *create sustainable solutions that make best use of core
resources and improve organizational efficiencies while reducing our
collective carbon foot print. *Research that helps hospitality and tourism
organizations become operationally productive, socially responsible and
proactively ‘eco-innovative’ citizens of the society is highly encouraged.**
*
Areas of inquiry may include but are *not* limited to:
· New models, frameworks, and explanations for the hospitality and
tourism fields with a focus on sustainability
· Case studies of champions of sustainability, social responsibility,
eco-innovation and Green practices from hospitality and tourism**
· ‘Going Green’ from an interdisciplinary perspective
· Economics of sustainable decisions – qualitative and quantitative
approaches
· Best eco-innovative practices in travel, tourism & hospitality
organizations
· Defining sustainability – a critical review of current literature
and suggestions for future

· Emerging nature of sustainable and Green engineering in
