This study aims to analyze the internal and external factors that facilitate or hinder the adoption of environmental management techniques in Saudi hotels and to assess the impact of these practices, technologies, and environmental management systems on advancing environmental protection and sustainability. Global economic, cultural, and technical developments are accelerating, making managing environmental deterioration and overuse of natural resources more difficult. The study also looks at how environmental management systems and technology may affect environmental conservation in the future. Data from 408 full-time employees of five-star hotels were analyzed using (PLS-SEM) to assess the effect of technologies on environmental protection initiatives. The results show that using technology integration promotes sustainability and catalyzes ecological conservation, with quantifiable benefits including cost savings and improved environmental outcomes. These programs have reduced pollution significantly, encouraged environmentally friendly economic practices, and lessened the depletion of natural resources over the past ten years. This study emphasizes technology's important role in advancing environmental sustainability. It offers a fresh viewpoint on how businesses may leverage digital advances to strengthen green activities and contribute to an environmentally friendly future.
