Multivariable analysis and Visualisation of the Governance Sustainability measures in the Greek Hotel Industry

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) sustainability measures of the hotel industry are widely used for the assessment of the impact of tourism in the local and regional social and natural environment. The Research Institute for Tourism (RIT) official survey on ESG measures in the Greek hotel industry was designed and evaluated in summer 2024. The survey results served as one of the main pillars of the joint venture among the Hellenic Champer of Hotels (HCH), the Technical Chamber of Greece (TCG) and the Greek Ministry of Tourism (MINTOUR) for the development of a new hotel ranking system based on ESG sustainability measures and indices. In this research, primary data on governance sustainability aspects such as policies, vision, targeting, training, corporate social responsibility, risk factors, certification, accessibility and architecture are analysed using multivariate and visualization tools leading to inference and conclusions within and between the main segments of this critical for the Greek economy industry.
