This study addresses a gap in sustainability research by examining factors that drive the successful adoption of sustainable practices in hotels. It introduces a holistic model incorporating internal (e.g., leadership, innovation, resources) and external (e.g., supplier collaboration, customer demand) factors. Findings confirm that all proposed internal and external factors positively influence financial, environmental, and societal performance. The study emphasizes the need to align internal capacities with external pressures to enhance sustainability outcomes. It concludes that integrating sustainability requires a strategic shift toward long-term, triple bottom line planning.
