Abstract
Current research on consumers’ perceptions and beliefs of green hotels is lacking (Lee et al., 2010) although benefits including reduced operating costs and increased consumer demand are well documented. The primary objectives of this study are to identify consumer beliefs about green hotels, values, willingness to pay, willingness to stay, and willingness to partake in environmentally friendly activities. Study participants were faculty and staff members employed by one college within a mid-western university. Information on consumer beliefs will help hotel managers make pricing decisions and design environmentally sustainable activities that guests may participate in.
