RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Research model of the environmental management in hotel firms A1 Armas Cruz, Yaiza del Mar A1 Gil Soto, María Esperanza K1 Protección medioambiental K1 Rendimiento económico K1 Modelo de medida AB The current work aims to develop a instrument to measure the impact of firms’ environmental protection activities on their economic performance. This tool is specifically designed forthe tourism sector, which is rarely analysed from this perspective despite its considerable relevancedue to its strong interaction with the environment. The work empirically tests the model on a sampleof hotels in Canary Islands (Spain). It uses structural equation modelling to analyse the information. The findings show that the proposed model fits the underlying reality well, and its constituentcomponents satisfy validity and reliability criteria. Thus, they make an important contribution toknowledge about the determinants and implications of sustainability in tourism-sector firms. PB Instituto Universitario de Ciencias Politicas y Sociales.
