Abstract:
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate of CSR applications by considering it in the context of the chain/group hotel industry in Turkey. Within this scope, official web sites of hotel companies which are identified by Turkey Hoteliers Association and operating in Turkey examined through content analysis of 60 chain hotels. Findings have shown that foreign chain hotels are better at reporting CSR applications than local ones. It has also been determined that the most frequently announced CSR applications are related to environmental issues. A limited number of studies are available in the literature related to CSR applications in Turkey. Therefore, the study will fill the gap at least in the literature.
