AB To   improve   the   environmental   performance   of   small   and   medium   ‑sized   accommodation   enterprises, it is important to understand the factors and motivations that move managers to adopt more efficient technologies and ecologically responsible practices. A sample of 18 independent family ‑run hotels and campsites were contacted in the mature tourist resort area of the Costa Brava (Spain). The research worked  with  a  combination  of  surveys  and  semi  ‑structured  interviews  directed  at  top  managers.  Saving  water  is  revealed  as  a  matter  figuring  low  on  the  list  of  priorities  of  most  managers,  while  competitive  advantages and stakeholder pressures appear as less relevant drivers than is posited in most of the scientific literature. We conclude that addressing organizational factors holds more promise in terms of transformative power supporting water conservation than structural or technological changes.
