Short Abstract
The hospitality industry faces major challenges regarding sustainable use of local natural resources such as water. Firms' efforts to invest in water saving measures may be perceived as profitable and attractive from a marketing perspective. However, improper water management at the destination level may offset such efforts and result in large social inefficiencies. In this paper, we analyse the determinants of water consumption of the hospitality industry in a large destination, using a large panel of by-monthly data from the service company. The installation of smart meters for large tourism establishments allows us to analyse the impact of digitalization and telecontrol in water consumption.
