The article offers a spatial analysis of sustainability practices and drivers in the Zimbabwean hospitality sector. Although differences in this regard can be observed between the Global North and the Global South, there are few studies on geographical variations in sustainability practices within particular countries. The main goal of the following study is to compare sustainability practices in Victoria Falls, a destination which attracts mainly international tourists, with other destinations, which mainly cater to domestic tourists. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 125 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. The results reveal that hospitality enterprises in Victoria Falls exhibit a higher sustainability awareness than those in other destinations. Hospitality establishments in destinations which cater mostly to domestic tourists were found to mainly implement sustainable practices required by government regulation.
