6 vi Sustainable Value Creation in Hospitality vi Acknowledgments A project of this scope can never be brought to a good end without the help of many people. I would like to take the opportunity to thank them all. In particular, also on behalf of all authors of the book, I wish to thank all professionals from the hospitality and tourism industry who shared with us examples of best practices. All these examples clearly illustrate that it is possible to create value on the environmental, social and economic dimensions in the hospitality industry. Without the support of the members of NHL Stenden Research Group Sustainability in Hospitality and Tourism, and in particular of David Casey, I would never have embarked in this project. Not only are several Research Group members authors of chapters in this book, but they also provided extensive and sensible feedback on each others and my own chapters. This book has been envisioned thinking of the needs of managers in the hospitality industry, as they have been expressed or become clear to me and to the colleagues collaborating on this book. Our students have also been a source of information and inspiration. In particular I wish to thank the students of the Hospitality Excellence Program, introduced by the Dutch Hotels Schools in collaboration with the Koninklijke Horeca Nederland (Royal Association of Businesses in the Catering and Related Industry, Hospitality Netherlands ). One of the challenges presented to the students participating in this program was connected to sustainability. I thank them not only for sharing their doubts and insights with me, but also for their enthusiasm for sustainability. On a similar line, I wish to thank all bachelor and master students at Stenden Hotel Management School who in the past years collaborated in my research. This book is dedicated to you all in my heart. A word of thank is due to all authors who, sometimes under severe personal circumstances, have contributed to this work. I wish also to thank all colleagues from Stenden Hotel Management School, and particularly its dean Dr. Craig Thompson, for their understanding and support. They covered for me when I had to dedicate several days on a row to editing the book. Last but not least I wish to thank Tim Goodfellow and Sally North, from Goodfellow Publishing. I shared the first idea for this book with Tim Goodfellow during the Guests on Earth conference organized by my professorship at Stenden (now NHL Stenden) in Tim Goodfellow saw the potential of a book on sustainability in hospitality structured around the Sustainable Hospitality Value Chain. His early support for this idea was essential to the success of the project. Sally North, editorial director at Goodfellow Publishing, has been invaluable during the whole editing process. I thank her particularly for her patience and good advice., Leeuwarden, 1 March 2018
