Resumo: | This research aims to contribute to the debate about sustainability in the industry of luxury hospitality, by answering the following research question: how are luxury hotels turning the page from opulence to sustainability? To answer this research question, we used a qualitative approach and conducted a comparative case study on three luxury hotels in Portugal which are committed to deliver a sustainable experience without compromising the guest’s expectations. The findings show that it is possible to combine the two concepts and be successful by implementing five strategies: sourcing locally, favouring sustainable construction, having a biological garden, meeting the luxury standards regarding the hotel’s commodities and being located in the countryside without compromising comfort. Although it requires an investment, the study shows it is worth taking. |

Para responder a esta pergunta de partida, usámos uma abordagem qualitativa e conduzimos um estudo comparativa de três hoteis de luxo em Portugal cujo compromisso passa por ser sustentável sem comprometer a proposta de luxo. As conclusões mostram que é possivel combinar os dois conceitos e ser bem-sucedido através da implementação de cinco estratégias: recorrer a produtores locais, favorecer uma construção sustentável, ter uma horta biológica, preencher os requisitos de um hotel de luxo e estar localizado numa zona rural sem comprometer o conforto. Apesar de requerer um investimento, a presente tese sustém que a sustentabilidade é um investimento essencial para ser competitivo no mercado.Leglise, LaureVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaLopes, Inês Almeida de Eça Araújo2023-01-16T12:17:56Z2020-10-1320202020-10-13T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/39876TID:202531236enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:45:26Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/39876Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:32:39.327779Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
