Turizam, koji želi biti održiv i uspješan na dugi rok, mora u svom planiranju i razvoju uvažavati osnovne principe održivog razvoja i odgovornog turizma, pri čemu vrlo često može doći do konflikta između ekonomske i društvene perspektive razvoja turizma i razvoja turizma iz perspektive okoliša. U hotelskom poslovanju zadnjih godina sve više raste ekološki trend poslovanja tzv. „zeleni“ hoteli. Oni se ističu primjenom inovativnih metoda odgovornog načina gradnje i upravljanja, smanjenom potrošnjom energije, vode i emisije ugljikovog dioksida. U ovom radu prikazana je uloga informacijsko komunikacijskih tehnologija u poslovanju „zelenih“ hotela u Republici Hrvatskoj. U skladu s rezultatima istraživanja, prihvaća se hipoteza, što znači da infrmacijsko komunikacijske tehnologije doprinose poslovanju „zelenih“ hotela u skladu s ciljevima održivog razvoja.Tourism, which aims to be sustainable and long-term successful, must respect the basic principles of sustainable development and responsible tourism in its planning and development, where the conflict between the economic and social perspective of tourism development and the development of tourism from the perspective of the environment can very often arise. In the hotel business, the ecological trend of business is increasing in the last few years, known as "green" hotels. They emphasize the use of innovative methods of responsible construction and management, reduced energy consumption, water and carbon dioxide emissions. This paper presents the role of information communication technologies in the business of "green" hotels in Croatia. According to the results of the research, hypothesis is accepted, which means that information communication technologies contribute to the business of "green" hotels in line with the goals of sustainable development
