Abstract
Purpose - This paper reviews some of the academic literature on the circular economy, natural capital and resilience by tourism and hospitality scholars and examines how a number of companies and industry bodies within the tourism and hospitality industry have employed these concepts in their business operations and development plans. Design/Methodology/Approach – The paper outlines the importance of sustainability to the tourism and hospitality industry and provides definitions of the concepts of the circular economy, natural capital and resilience. The paper reviews some of the academic literature on these concepts, explores how a number of companies and industry bodies within the tourism and hospitality industry have employed them in their business and planning operations, and identifies a number of future directions for academic research and managerial contributions. Findings – The concepts illuminate a range of sustainability challenges and opportunities, and some companies employ these concepts in their sustainability strategies and development planning. The current depth of theoretical understanding does not lend itself to management strategies, but one fruitful avenue is to explore how information systems can be better deployed to support these concepts and sustainability management in general. Originality/Value - The paper provides an accessible exploratory review of how academics and companies are focusing on the concepts of the circular economy, natural capital and resilience in the tourism and hospitality industry. As such, it will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners interested in the hospitality industry.
