The transition toward sustainable hospitality has intensified due to environmental concerns, regulatory pressures, and evolving consumer preferences. This study critically examines guest awareness and acceptance of eco-friendly hotel initiatives through a theoretical and conceptual lens. Drawing upon frameworks such as the Theory of Planned Behavior and Value-Belief-Norm theory, the paper explores the psychological, social, and economic determinants influencing guest behavior. The findings suggest that although awareness levels have increased globally, acceptance remains conditional upon perceived value, convenience, and trust in hotel practices. The study highlights the need for strategic communication, behavioral nudges, and service design innovation to bridge the gap between awareness and active participation.
