ABSTRACT

Managing carbon footprints in hotels is a critical element of ensuring sustainability within the industry. Studies conducted in various settings emphasize the significance of enhancing energy efficiency, particularly within housekeeping departments and electricity usage. The current study employed a comprehensive approach by searching multiple databases including Web of Science Core Collection, SCOPUS, CNKI, and Semantic Scholar to gather relevant literature. As a consequence, just 4 papers fit the criteria and were included in this mini review after 10 unavailable publications and 16 articles irrelevant to the subject were disregarded. Ultimately, the infusion of AI technology into hotels' carbon footprint reduction and management strategies is revolutionizing the industry. With its capacity to optimize energy consumption, revolutionize resource management, curtail embodied carbon, champion sustainable practices, and propel waste reduction endeavors, AI is unleashing a wave of innovation to tackle the environmental hurdles confronting the hospitality sector.
