Service providers and tourism players have introduced the green hotels concept to mitigate detrimental environmental impact. This study aimed to review the literature on green hotels based on bibliometric analysis.

In analyzing the potential and significant subject of the tourism industry and concern on environmental issues, this study evaluates the themes based on the past, present and future trends in green hotels from a bibliographic database retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS).

Several themes were identified from the role of the theory of planned behavior and predictors of consumers' intention to visit green hotels.

Implications were discussed mainly related to green hotels contribution towards sustainable tourism and its role in shaping the tourism sector's landscape. Among the practical implications include rewards by the authorities in the form of incentives or tax relief to green hotel operators, which will encourage conventional hotel transformation into green hotels. Furthermore, green hotels will be at the forefront of tourism and hospitality brands, requiring substantial green marketing initiatives. Sooner or later, opting for green hotels while traveling will be the norm among travelers.

The green hotels have emerged as a way to tackle the environmental issues related to tourism and hospitality while at the same time, allowing the industry to flourish. This research is one of the scant studies that provide a comprehensive overview about green hotel studies and offer future research agendas.

To be green creative is to come up with fresh, original and practical ideas for green products, green services, green processes or green activities. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of green creativity (GC) research by tracing the development of important theories, contexts, characteristics and methodologies (TCCM), and to illustrate how they relate to one another based on the systematic review and analysis of the existing literature relevant to GC from 2013 to 2023.

The research takes a methodical, structured approach to its literature evaluation, identifying prior contributions and offering frameworks for future study.

This research aims to highlight the challenges associated with planning, developing and implementing GC to realize the firm’s strategic and operational goals. Comprehensive networks, important countries, notable authors, key TCCM are provided by a TCCM and bibliographic analysis of the current GC literature.

The research addresses the concerns of managers across all types of entities and fills in the gaps, such as the skewed focus on GC’s applicability in large businesses and developing countries, as well as the limitations of a single-level analysis.

The research as a whole provides the taxonomy, utilization and mapping of logical concepts that strengthen GC. The study also highlights areas where more research is needed and where gaps and unresolved tensions remain. By delving into the nature of knowledge, the authors can better understand the factors that will ultimately shape the scope of future studies.
