This webinar discusses Green Hospitality as a dynamic concept in the larger realm of Human Environmental Relations and Sustainability in Tourism. This discussion will explore how hospitality and food industries can redefine their environmental roles by adopting circular food systems, local procurement, waste minimization, and eco-innovation. Integrating theoretical knowledge on ecological behavior and place attachment and empirical data in the field of sustainable gastronomy and ecotourism, this webinar will emphasize the role of individual, community, and institutional actions in the establishment of harmonious human–environment relations. The participants will learn about current research trends, such as the digitalization of food management, low-carbon management in hospitality, and the application of ecological awareness in developing consumer behavior. Finally, this session aims to close the gap between scholarly investigation and practical sustainability approaches in hospitality, tourism, and food production.
