Hospitality industries often pay little attention to their environmental responsibilities. Solid waste is a key concern in the hospitality industry. Typically, a hotel guest can produce 1kg of waste per day that accumulates to thousands of tonnes of waste annually. Many hotel operators have very little interest in reducing, minimized and/or recycling waste, believing that such activities are too expensive and time-consuming. The main objectives were to provide data regarding the solid waste management from hotels and present typical practices for waste prevention/minimization at source. Also, this paper describes a cost-benefit analysis of the impact of the hospitality industry in the management of waste from the municipality of Paralimni in the eastern region of Cyprus.
