Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility means that a company should be responsible for its actions in society in the form of - social, ethical, and environmental. Tourism industry is one of the fastest growing service sectors around the world. It provides jobs to under skill, semi skilled and skilled worker on various designations. This research article explores the concept of corporate social responsibility in hospitality industry in which selected hotels and airlines in India are discussed. CSR initiatives of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Tourism were explored. The article is based on critical literature review and analyzed to establish the connection between tourism and the physical and social environments.. Results showed a stronger focus on environmental issues than on the social or economic dimensions of CSR. Although a large number of airlines and hotels publishing CSR reports discussed their achievement of major goals only a much smaller number have provided detailed information relating to specific initiatives implemented in order to contribute to these goals.
