Abstract: This research delves into the role of collective engagement within the environmental action paradigm, focusing on Romania's hospitality sector. Drawing from 87 valid survey responses, the study scrutinizes the sector's attitudes, perceptions, and behaviours towards environmental sustainability. The analysis identifies a consensus on the importance of education in fostering environmental stewardship and promoting sustainable practices, with older demographic groups showing a heightened awareness. It also highlights the industry's potential to drive systemic changes through environmentally friendly practices and broader social responsibilities. However, variations across demographic groups underscore the need to consider such factors when promoting collective engagement. Overall, this study emphasizes the crucial role of collective engagement in the HoReCa sector for achieving sustainable development and environmental resilience.
