Environmentální management v ubytovacích zařízeních v Kalmaru

This bachelor's thesis deals with analyzing and evaluating environmental management in accommodation facilities in the Swedish city of Kalmar, known for its rich historical heritage and commitment to sustainability. The work examines how elements of environmental management are applied in practice based on research conducted through a questionnaire survey among selected accommodation facilities. The theoretical part clarifies concepts related to environmental management, its classification and certification of accommodation facilities, and its advantages and disadvantages. The practical part is devoted to a detailed analysis of the implementation of these elements, including energy and water saving, waste management, the use of ecological materials, and the motivation of employees for ecological behavior. Research has shown that, despite the varying degrees of application of these elements, most facilities adopt certain aspects of environmental management, which helps protect the environment and improve the image of accommodation facilities in guests' eyes. The main obstacles to implementing environmental measures are high initial costs and time requirements. The thesis proposes changes in operating procedures in selected accommodation facilities and emphasizes the importance of regular employee training and informing guests about environmental measures.
