How the Implementation of BREEAM in Hotels Could Help to Achieve the SDGs

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This study has some important messages to the sustainable development. However, it is doubted that whether the research method has properly been chosen. it is suggested that other than interviewing hotel professionals, a quantitative research should be undertaken to prove the relationship between BREEM and achievement of SDGs. The results cannot substantiate the discussion and conclusions as it is merely a summary of the operational changes of the construction of hotels. We have no ideas on what data were collected during the interviews and how they are analyzed.

Reviewer 2 Report

This paper is short but informative. I enjoyed reading it and I would like to give few minor suggestions on how to improve it. Since all chapters are very short, I suggest that you modify your paper by deleting subchapters. If you need to highlight improvements in Results, you could use bullets or numbers.

Methodology

How many people were interviewed? Were there more interviewed people than case studies?

Please, provide information about data analysis.

Conclusions

Along with future research suggestions you should give limitations of your research. Additionally, you should also clearly state the contributions of your research (scientific, managerial etc.)

Reviewer 3 Report

The main idea of the article is excellent, but the overall merit is really low.

Scientific soundness of the article is absolutely low for this kind of journal.

Could authors describe or highlight more and widely what is their contribution, their innovative approach and what can be applied from their work? The article seems now to be a literature review.

I am sure that after revisions could be the article reviewd again and has a potential to be published.
