Most local hospitality and tourism enterprises hardly engage in corporate social responsibility programmes within their location. Is this entirely proper?
I believe all business endeavors must engage in CSR activities because they operate with in society and generate profit for their survival. Further, their day to day operation have bearings on the society, environment and economy. Therefore, they must engage in CSR at least.
Of course tourism entreprises should participate to social responsability programmes. This may help society development and at the same time, it generates benefit for their visibility and their communication.
Of course - it is one of the important roles of tourism institutions to have a social responsibility to provide initiatives and activities that serve the community and its inhabitants.
Priyakrushna Mohanty Karima Khalil and Mahmoud Ramadan Al-Azab Many thanks for your valuable contributions. The responses are, indeed, valuable to the course of my "work in progress"
Sim. Devem incorporar em programas de responsabilidade social corporativa, caso contrário não estaríamos falando de sustentabilidade nas suas mais amplas dimensões. Entretanto, devemos considerar que há fases/etapas neste processo de progresso para um mundo mais sustentável, e com isso, as empresas podem necessitar de um tempo a mais para entender esta necessidade.
Muito obrigado querido colega RG Ana Catarina ALVES Coutinho , por sua valiosa contribuição
Yes. At least to give back to the immediate society from where they maximize potentials.
CSR's approaches allow hotels and tourism to strengthen the relevance of their profit strategy. The luxury sector can afford thanks to the sustainable development of reconciling quality that is at the heart of its profit strategy, while succeeding in constant volume savings under cover of environmental protection.
In the tourism sector, the adoption and anchoring of practices CSR is likely to promote the operational declination of the principles and value of sustainable development, towards sustainable tourism, an ecotourism, as a better solution to reconcile both economic development, the well-being of the Communs.
Many thanks dear Ben Boubakary for your articulate input. I did a study on hotel organizations and SDGs a couple of years ago, in which the findings were not very encouraging for host communities. We only hope things would get better.
Of course yes. It will help in boosting their image across social, political and economic lines
Thanks for your response dear Donatus Everest Akalazu . Your position is apt.
It is in the interest of the hotel and tourism industry to engage in corporate social responsibility programmes by partnering governments in investing in health, education and infrastructural development. In Zimbabwe, local communities around centres of tourism such as the Victoria Falls, the Great Zimbabwe monument, and Hwange National Park are tourist attractions in themselves. Tourists are often interested in learning about local cultures; they like interacting with local people - buying their sculptures, listening to their music and watching their dances; it is the artefacts and handcrafted furniture from local people which give local hotels a distinctively African atmosphere so that overseas tourists do not feel as if they are still in Europe and America; and when local people realise they have a stake in tourism they actively participate in conserving the rich and diverse African wildlife which attracts most tourists to this part of the world.
Your articulate submission is very well appreciated dear Oswell Namasasu. Many thanks.
They are obliged to fulfill their social responsibility to the public since they are business entities.
