[ABSTRACT ]

2015 saw all UN members embrace the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It aims to create a global collaboration to achieve peace and prosperity for the planet and people. 17 SDGs aspire to improve the world by 2030 without excluding anybody. This study will evaluate how hotels fulfill SDGs sustainably, especially SDG6. The data from 57 star-category hotels were collected from Rajasthan, India, and analyzed. Results indicate that water conservation, sanitation, and hygiene for everyone contributed significantly to sustainable development. According to findings, different-star category hotels contribute differently to SDG6 by implementing sustainable practices to satisfy environmental SDGs.
