“…Future descriptive research could include variables that were not taken into consideration in this study, such as participants' results (personal assessment of race time and position), economic, motivational aspects, and other dimensions related to sustainable tourism. It would be very interesting to advance the study of personal green practices with a "zero waste" objective, based on the "rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle" model [81], which aims to reduce the economic and environmental costs of the materials used by participants and organisers.…”

Tourism, including sports tourism, is an important driver of social and economic development. Sports tourism events, and small-scale sporting events in particular, are a powerful resource for promoting tourism in the host city, as a viable way of developing sustainable tourism in the local community. This study aims to analyse the impact of functional quality, outcome quality, satisfaction, and perceived value on intentions to recommend the host city among participants in a small-scale sporting event. A total of 866 runners in a 21-km recreational race participated in this study. A multi-item scale was used and a confirmatory factor analysis of the model was carried out, and the presence of gender differences in the relationships was ascertained using a multigroup analysis. The results revealed a direct effect of functional quality and satisfaction, and an indirect effect of outcome quality and value on intentions to recommend the city. Intention to recommend the city and functional quality showed differences between males and females. In conclusion, managing quality is a key strategy in encouraging participants in small-scale sporting events to recommend the host city.

“…According to Rundle-Thiele and Wymer (2010), "universities owe society graduates who are ethically responsible" (p. 11) to themselves, their future employers, and the greater society as a whole. Nonetheless, skepticism remains on the effectiveness of teaching sustainability in HEIs (Sisson, Grisamore, & Jang, 2020).…”

“…While sustainability is important for accreditation and reputation, sustainability concepts have not been taught consistently within hospitality management programs (Deale & Barber, 2012;Sisson, Grisamore, & Jang, 2020;Zizka & Varga, 2020) as there are discrepancies between the aims, objectives, or necessity of such courses. Previous literature concurred that the hospitality industry's negative impacts must be offset with its positive impacts (Deale & Barber, 2012;Zizka, 2018), but agreeing on how to proceed has been problematic.…”

Higher education (HE) programs in hospitality/leisure management studies offer the theoretical knowledge which should prepare graduates to be effective thought leaders for a changing global workplace. Previous research examined HE institutions' role in preparing students for their professional careers by applying innovative and sustainable solutions to everyday problems. This study examines the top 50 international hospitality/leisure management programs of 2017 through a content analysis of their sustainability curriculum, mission /vision statement, and projects to establish a link between school reputation, sustainability courses and practices, and authentic student engagement. The premise is that top ranked hospitality/leisure management programs will be leaders in sustainability courses and practices. The results demonstrate that the majority of top ranked programs currently offer between zero and five sustainability courses in their undergraduate hospitality/leisure management programs. Hospitality/leisure management programs worldwide need to reconsider their undergraduate programs to prepare positive social change agents for the 21 st century workplace.

“…The importance of sustainability has drawn significant attention as customers are in favor of companies that practice environmental sustainability and seek eco-friendly products and services (Chen, 2015). Such environmental efforts have helped not only reduced operational costs but also enhanced the image of the hotels (Chen, 2015;Dief and Font, 2010;Sisson et al, 2020). A hotel that is labeled green can provide a basis for right marketing strategies as environmentally friendly practices may provide a competitive edge in the market and contribute to more favorable behavioral intentions by the guests (Han et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2010).…”

PurposeCreating memorable experiences for customers at the individual property is one of the primary goals in hotel management across all segments. Adopting the concept of the ingredient branding, this study aims to attempt to identify the effects of bathroom amenity brands on customers' attitudes toward the hotel brand image and their behavior intentions toward a hotel brand. Specifically, this study assesses the importance of bathroom amenities on customer experience. It also examines the effects of bathroom amenity and their sustainable practices on hotel brand image and behavior intentions. Lastly, it provides suggestions for hoteliers in selecting right and appealing bathroom amenities while enhancing customers' hotel experience.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a 3 (hotel service level: economy, midscale, vs luxury) × 2 (bathroom amenity brand: luxury vs general) × 2 (bathroom amenity packaging: bottle vs dispenser) between-subjects experimental design. A total of 557 useable surveys were obtained to test the study's hypotheses.FindingsThe results reveal that customers had a better hotel image when high-end brand bathroom amenities in a bottle were offered. Specifically, when economy hotels provided high-end brand bathroom amenities, customers had a better hotel image, which lead to strong return intentions. Typically, bathroom amenities in the bottle were perceived better than those in the dispenser when it came to the hotel image.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study reconfirm that the level of hotel service, bathroom amenity brand and bathroom amenity packaging jointly affect hotels' overall image. Specifically, the generic bathroom amenity in the dispenser somewhat degrades the image of the hotel for economy hotels; however, the image of hotel is not significantly affected by the type of bathroom packaging when the hotel has luxury bathroom amenities. Thus, hotel management should pay more attention to selecting the bathroom amenity brand, which can offer more memorable experience for customers.Originality/valueLittle research has been documented on the effects of hotel bathroom amenity brands on customers' attitudes toward hotel brand image and their psychological behaviors in the hotel industry, lacking rigorous theoretical examinations. The current study provides several important contributions not only to the body of knowledge but to the hotel industry.
