“…There has been extensive recognition of the importance of environmental issues in hospitality management since the late 1990s. Choi et al [34] showed that environmentbased research in the last 10 years has focused on consumer perception and behaviour towards hotels' environmental practices [27], in addition to showcasing the conceptual or technical model of effective environmental management systems [37], evaluation methods or factors to determine the most effective environmental management systems [38][39][40][41] and marketing and management initiatives for hotels' environmental practices [38]. Green human resource management practice is increasingly recognized as a key factor to support environmental management training within hospitality organizations [42].…”

Tourism is fundamental to the economy of Wales, and the government tourism plan 2020–2025 centres on sustainable development. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of research undertaken by the Next Tourism Generation Alliance (NTGA) project in Wales evidencing sustainability skills gaps. Survey data collected from five tourism sectors, accommodation, food and beverage, destination management, visitor attractions, travel agents and tour operators, show that the highest green and social skills gaps were identified in food and beverage businesses, whilst accommodation reported the lowest skills gaps. The effect of the type of tourism sector, business size and job level on green skills gaps perceptions was found to be insignificant, which indicates that training in sustainability skills is considered important regardless of these variables. The effect of type of tourism activity on perceptions of social skills gaps including personal and communication was significant. Addressing skills gaps is crucial given the significance of the industry in the national economy and the need for recovery from COVID-19. Tourism is one of the worst affected industries in the pandemic, and global market research and policy guidance highlight the importance of sustainable tourism development to ensure a resilient recovery.

“…This happens at the global level of their value awareness, but each individual hotel is not always ready to spend money on "green know-how." Such costs take a long time to pay off, and not all managers are ready to restructure their thinking on green business (Al-Aomar, Raid, Hussain & Matloub, 2017). It is possible to single out a so called "smart house" system as a resource-efficient technology that allows one to provide comfort (including security), and resource efficiency for all users through automation and hightech devices.…”

“…This method is the complete method in the fuzzy domain and also is based on the fuzzy priority relation. The D-AHP model in this paper evaluates the effects of sustainability on the fulfillment of 3PL service in supply chain [12]. This approach applies in different scenarios, such as the preference relation in the fuzzy environment that can be employed in case of uncertainty between experts' opinions when they have a clear view of the subject.…”

Nowadays, the relative importance of logistics and sustainable supply chain cannot be denied and thirdparty logistics as one of the logistics management strategies can play an important role for many industry owners to consider their sustainability goals. The goal of this paper is to choose the best third-party logistics provider to achieve a sustainable logistics system, because third-party logistics service is mainly dependent on both transportation and workforces, managing them is one of the important issues of sustainability. Thus, third-party logistics providers need to be concerned about not only the economic criteria but also issues related to environmental and social sustainability in addition to two other dimensions namely technical and reputation. In this paper, a comprehensive classification of related criteria, sub-criteria, and sub-sub-criteria is proposed according to selecting the best third-party logistics provider. To evaluate and rank the proposed criteria, a D Number-Analytic Hierarchy Process method, as one of the proper and popular multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches, is utilized. Besides, a case study in dairy industry has been accomplished in the real-world to show the effectiveness and a better understanding of the proposed conceptual model. Finally, the best third-party logistics provider was identified among the alternatives for the proposed case study. The results showed that the proposed method could be a good alternative to conduct evaluations and the related sensitivity analysis, considering sustainability.
