Tiivistelmä
The aim of the Thesis was to study various aspects of sustainability in the hotel business and, based on the experience of one of the case studies, Scandic Jyväskylä, to create a list of development recommendations for another hotel – Onego Palace Hotel.
The theoretical basis consists of information about sustainable building, ecological technologies, ecological design and a description of some existing eco-labels and their influence on the organization. Additionally, it was necessary to define the methodology utilized in the Thesis. Thus, the research methods were thoroughly described including the information about data varieties and case studies, with the benchmarking method as the main way of hotel comparison, which was accurately reported.
The main research question was “How might the Finnish experience of eco-sustainability be applied from the perspective of the Russian hotel business?”. All the theory supported the question and, thereafter, contributed to the creation of a list of developmental recommendations for Onego Palace hotel based on the experience of the Scandic Jyväskylä hotel.
The theme of the Thesis was chosen according to the author’s interests and the current influence of ecological aspects on human life. The research can be used as a development strategy for the Onego Palace as well as for other hotels in the area and for the future projects managed by author.
