Abstract

The concept of carbon neutrality revolves around the idea of balancing the amount of carbon emissions generated with an equivalent amount of carbon removal or offsetting. In the context of star-rated hotels, this entails a comprehensive approach to minimize and offset the carbon footprint associated with their operations. This research aims to assess the awareness and attitudes of hospitality students towards sustainability concepts, including carbon neutrality and responsible tourism. It seeks to uncover the strategies employed by star-rated hotels for achieving carbon neutrality, emphasizing key sources of emissions through a proposed diagram. Additionally, the study explores the role of Net Zero Methodologies and responsible tourism practices in the hotel industry’s sustainability efforts, providing valuable insights for education and industry practices. The findings aim to contribute to informed curricular development and further discussions on fostering sustainability in the hospitality sector. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed methods design, the study combines quantitative data from 322 hospitality students with qualitative insights from content analysis of secondary sources. The results of the one-sample tests indicate a significant difference (p
