Malaysia has an advantage in tourism due to her attractive natural environment. Due to the factors that supporting the growth of the tourism industry, the numbers of hotels are on the rise. On the other hand, with higher demand for hotels, the more the hotel will be built and the larger amount of resource will be consumed. In long term, by damaging this valuable environmental and economic potential, it will destruct the growth of the tourism i:1dustry making it unsustainable. Pressures that demand the business corporation to address the environmental issues are grovving. Companies, which are also belongs to a huge part of the society are therefore required to involve more serious than ever in environment practices in order to be sustainable.
