The tourism industry increasingly acknowledges sustainability as crucial for long-term success and environmental stewardship. This study examines the role of Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) in promoting sustainable tourism practices. Green HRM integrates environmental management into HR policies, fostering a sustainabilityoriented organizational culture. Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical analysis, this research evaluates the impact of Green HRM practices on sustainable tourism development. Key areas include ecofriendly recruitment, training, performance management, and employee engagement strategies. The study emphasizes the importance of these practices in enhancing organizational sustainability, reducing the carbon footprint of tourism operations, and cultivating environmental responsibility among employees. Findings indicate that Green HRM significantly contributes to sustainable tourism by encouraging responsible behavior, improving resource efficiency, and supporting community-based tourism. The research also identifies challenges and opportunities in implementing Green HRM in the tourism sector, offering practical recommendations for industry stakeholders. This study underscores the necessity for tourism organizations to adopt Green HRM as a strategic approach to achieve sustainability goals. The implications extend to policymakers, tourism managers, and HR professionals aiming to enhance their organizations’ environmental performance while promoting sustainable tourism practices.
