Chapter Chapter 10 in Managing the Transition to a Circular Economy, 2024, pp 101-118 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The hotel industry is immersed in a debate about the negative externalities derived from its activity, which makes the effective development of the Circular Economy increasingly necessary to achieve the desired levels of sustainability. To this end, the main purpose of this chapter is to develop a basic measurement and evaluation framework for measuring and evaluating the circular level of hotels as a tool for monitoring and planning their circular actions. This model aims to address the lack of homogeneity in existing circularity models by developing standardized indicators, methods, and procedures for the hotel sector. To achieve it, the methodology is based on the creation of a tool composed of 5 dimensions (Circularity management, Energy, Water, Waste and Food waste) from which valuable conclusions are drawn for managers in the sector. Specifically, a specific self-assessment tool is created to evaluate the level of circularity that allows hotels not only to comply with pioneering laws such as 3/2022 of the Balearic Islands, but also to anticipate and expand future circularity requirements by incorporating additional indicators to those required by the law, as well as evaluation scales and a guide of good practices that gives the tool a practical and useful character for hotels that want to improve their circular practices.
