The study uses a systematic literature review to look at studies and reports published from 1 January 2000 to 5 November 2022, to find out how people think and feel about women’s participation with regard to employment and leadership in terms of taking decisions in traditionally male-dominated sectors i.e., fishing, marine shipping, and blue economy tourism. The evaluation closes with recommendations for the compilation of baseline inventories to collect gender-disaggregated data to advise policy on which sectors hinder women’s participation as well as a new framework to create pathways for women’s holistic participation in India’s blue economy.

In India, the government and the private sector continue to place a high priority on green hotels because of their contribution to environmental preservation and a reduction in the effects of global warming. The implementation of the green hotel idea still raises both advantages and disadvantages due to certain onerous criteria for business actors. The majority of them believe that staying at a green hotel is expensive and uncomfortable for tourists. In spite of the fact that many tourists require green hotels, not all tourists are aware of this concept, particularly in India. This paper looks at studies on green hotels that have been carried out in other nations and relates with India. The case of India's Delhi shows how tourists can not completely grasp the idea of green hotels.

Due to urbanization, the volume of waste is speedily rising. If the origin of waste creation makes no effort, then all wastes are either disposed of or burnt which results in waste of land, air, water, and energy as well as the growth of undesirable animals, plants and microorganism. Through the associate and involvement of the local population, waste may be managed locally in a sustainable manner. Waste management may be an expensive endeavor if not carried out appropriately. In most of the developing nations, 20-50 percent of urban expenditure budget is directed at management of solid waste. Small hotels in Dehradun, the capital city of Uttrakhand, haven't made any attempts to address their waste-related environmental consequences, which has had a negative effect on the environment. In this paper, waste management practices of small hotels in capital city of Uttrakhand are investigated. Employees of small hotels were given a survey schedule to fill out in order to collect information about their waste management practices. The findings show that small hotels choose to dispose of their waste rather than recycle and reuse it.

It is now considered as a well-organized tool for promoting economic growth as well as development of the host country. Since last few decades, tourism industry in India has been growing at a rapid pace and it has a vast potential for generating both direct and indirect employment and earning a large amount of foreign exchange besides giving a fillip to the country’s overall economic and socio-cultural development. This study tries to examine the present status of tourism industry in Odisha. The study uses popular semi log model for the period from 2000 to 2009 and provides the confirmation of tourism development in Odisha. Therefore the result suggests that as the time passes, there is significant increase in the Domestic Tourist arrival in Odisha. The tourist’s arrival registered a positive rate of 0.4 percent during the study period.

First, this sector has an increasing economic importance. Second, the tourist industry shows an increasingly higher environmental concern (Hunter, 1997). This paper investigates the Green Practices (GPs) among different categories of star hotels (three star to five star deluxe only) in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) which includes both Hyderabad and Secunderabad of India. It aims to identify the level of stakeholders on GPs participation and whether GPs contribute to overall hotel performance. To achieve these objectives, stakeholder theory is selected as the theoretical basis to explicate the proposed hypothesis i.e. whether all stakeholders (government, activists, industry association, competitors, customers and top management) positively influence the green practices and whether hotels with GPs are able to drive towards better financial and non-financial performance. Data collection is carried out from 51 star hotels in the GHMC through questionnaire. A test on the hypothesis using the hierarchical regression supported the fact that stakeholder influence in the participation of GPs among GHMC star hotels are only at a moderate stage. This means that more than half of star hotels do not have written environmental policy and very few are certified to ISO-40001. It also means that except top management, activists, other stakeholders do not influence or influence in minimal in implementing green practices in star hotels.

This paper analyses data collected from 147 star hotel consumers across GHMC to gain insight into consumer perceptions and attitudes towards green practices and their willingness to pay.

to obtain the value of willingness to pay and determine the factors influencing it. The findings illustrate that there is an unfilled market niche for ‘Green’ in star hotels, as consumer cares about star hotels that protecting the environment and would be willing to pay more to offset any additional costs associated with green practices.

This paper drew in subjective strategies utilizing the survey techniques for the collection of information.
