Abstract

This study uses the Community Innovation Survey 2010 (CIS 2010, Eurostat) database and data from 695 companies from three different countries to determine potential factors able to determine the environmental concern of the hospitality firms while innovating. The study demonstrates that the innovation orientation, the importance of external information sources for the innovation and the perception of barrier toward innovation are effective factors in predicting the environmental concern. Additionally, we uncovered that the innovation orientation is the most powerful predictor of the environmental concern while innovating, which suggests that innovation is a key driver to encourage companies at the hospitality industry towards the environment.
