The agenda of researchers and practitioners in the tourism industry has focused on the demand for sustainable practices. Luxury hotels have also followed this trend, although studies are still limited. The aim of this study is to understand what environmental and social sustainability practices luxury hotels are adopting and how their management perceive the benefits and results from their adoption. This empirical research is based on a case study that triangulates data from semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and observation. The results show that luxury hotels have implemented environmental practices that address energy efficiency measures that reduce water consumption, waste, and carbon emissions and that control, protect, and maintain fauna and flora to promote of unique natural landscapes. They have focused on social practices that address the relations with charitable institutions, provide consumers high-quality services, and create a safe and healthy work environment. Luxury hotels have successfully implemented these practices to reduce operational costs. The study’s findings provide practical guidance for hotel managers who seek to implement sustainability practices.
O conceito de cidades inteligentes vem se expandindo nos últimos anos e está cada vez mais presente em nosso cotidiano, mudando a forma como interagimos com outras pessoas e com a própria cidade. Graças ao progresso da tecnologia da informação, a Internet das Coisas, ou simplesmente IoT, tem contribuído fortemente para o desenvolvimento de soluções inteligentes, aprimorando o monitoramento e controle dos dispositivos. Assim, o problema de gerenciamento de acesso torna-se relevante, motivando o desenvolvimento de soluções para o seu aprimoramento. Este trabalho propõe um sistema de monitoramento e controle de acesso de múltiplos ambientes em um edifício institucional. A arquitetura do sistema proposto será baseada na computação em névoa. Uma trava inteligente foi projetada usando o microcontrolador ESP8266, programado para controlar e monitorar os ambientes com mais eficiência e segurança.
In the first section, Introduction, we present our experimental design.In the second section, we characterize the grand average occipital and temporal electrical activity correlated with a contrast in access.In the third section, we characterize the grand average occipital and temporal electrical activity correlated with a contrast in phenomenology and conclude characterizing the grand average occipital and temporal electrical activity co-occurring with unconsciousness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
