'There is a considerable need for this text which effectively relates general environmental issues to the hospitality industry and which underpins theoretical discussion with case material, optimum performance figures and appropriate references.

'It [Environmental Management for Hotels] presents technical and
operational aspects of the subject with the elegance and thoroughness
that we have come to expect of Professor Kirk, providing first a discussion
of environmental policy, followed by details of the main environmental

Because of the wealth of information that it contains, I feel the book is
also potentially of value as an operational handbook for hospitality
managers. It must also be a significant resource for companies wishing to
design and mount training courses to support environmental policies.'
