Abstract

Sustainability has three basic dimensions, including the environmental dimension, the economic dimension, and the social dimension. The current study aims to evaluate the extent to which mountain safari centers apply environmental sustainability standards in mountain safari centers in the Red Sea Governorate, which contributes to achieving sustainable development goals. To achieve this goal, a questionnaire was designed to collect data from workers in these centers. Environmental sustainability was measured through four basic dimensions: (building requirements, energy management, waste management, and preservation of environmental diversity). A random sample of (315) individuals was relied upon from workers in those centers, and the study relied on 244 valid questionnaires for analysis. The study data was analyzed using SPSS V.24 and Amos V.24. The study results showed that the mountain safari centers in the Red Sea Governorate did not comply with the building standards of the environmental dimension. It also showed that the mountain safari centers in the Red Sea Governorate do not implement energy management standards in construction and operation. Furthermore, neither waste management standards nor environmental diversity preservation guidelines are applied in these centers. Finally, this study provides recommendations to enhance the applicability of environmental sustainability standards in mountain safari centers in the Red Sea Governorate.
