Moreover, human resources, being vital for organizational development, require enhancements in knowledge, understanding, and environmental awareness through experiential learning, promoting lifelong learning, emphasizing collaboration, fostering a culture of open learning, and developing creative thinking alongside essential skills for the future. Additionally, organizational policies and support from the government such as knowledge, technology, and innovations in environmental management for green hotels have a significant role in developing staff skills and competencies. Therefore, the development of human resources in green hotel business organizations emphasizes utilizing natural resources in a way that minimizes environmental impact while enabling personnel to adapt to the changes in the economy, society, environment, and advancements in global technology
