    Sustainable Tourism Practices in the Hospitality Sector: A Case Study of Scandic Spring Semester 2010 Department of Social Sciences Business Administration C Bachelor Thesis (15 ECTS) Author: Jenifer Eggeling Institution: Mid Sweden University Östersund Supervisor: Anna Sörensson Examiners: Leif Arnesson Date: 27th May 2010 Place: Östersund Acknowledgements First of all I would like to thank my supervisor, Anna Sörensson, who supported me during the process of writing a thesis. Without this constant support, her guidance and encouragement, this thesis would not have been possible. Even sickness could not stop her from giving me constructive feedback that has been incorporated in this thesis. Moreover, I owe my deepest gratitude to my parents, who made it possible for me to come to Sweden and experience the way of life of an Erasmus-student in a foreign country without knowing anyone in the beginning, but coming back with a lot of beautiful memories, an even wider open mind, new friendships and a strengthened personality. I am grateful for the support of my family and friends back home during all the time I have been abroad and especially during the last weeks where I have been busy finishing this thesis. Furthermore, I would like to thank Stefanie Kuhnt, who always supported me with ideas during the work on my thesis. The “Fika” with her became a very good compensation for sitting the whole day on the laptop. Lastly, I would like to show my gratitude to everybody else who helped me finishing the project in time. II Abstract Recently the interest in green environmentally friendly products and services increased dramatically.
