Abstract: Climate change is an imminent crisis faced by the global community and tourism is identified as a significant sectoral contributor. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to investigate the carbon reduction strategies of the hospitality sector in Zimbabwe. A survey was done with 165 randomly selected accommodation establishments in Zimbabwe. Descriptive analysis was done with the aid of SPSS version 29.

The findings also disclose that energy management strategies are seen as important in the reduction of GHG.
