resource efficiency in daily operations. These requirements show rela-
tively higher shares of respondents reporting high levels of implementa-
tion across countries, suggesting that a basic operational foundation for
iso 21401 is already present in many accommodation providers. In con-
trast, readiness levels are consistently lower for requirements that depend
on formalised management systems and structured organisational pro-
cesses. These include requirements related to documented sustainability
policies, systematic planning and monitoring, defined roles and responsi-
bilities, stakeholder engagement processes, and continuous improvement
