Abstract

Tourism in Vietnam has become an important sector of the economy. Its environmental impacts include the quantity of waste generated. This study aims to assess the compositions of solid waste generated within diverse accommodation service establishments (ASEs) in Hoi An City to understand the differences across accommodation types and generating areas. The analysis indicated that most of the ASEs provided multiple services and waste components differed among generating areas. Initiatives for optimising the recovered material flows from waste at the ASEs were proposed. A decentralised-centralised hybrid model was suggested as a suitable approach for waste circulation in the accommodation service sector. The training of staff in the ASEs and tourists, as well, is crucial. So is the participation of social entities in the city’s waste management.
