Abstract
The circular economy model is fundamental, as it brings several benefits to the environment, the economy, organizations, the community, and the tourism sector. Considering that tourism activity produces negative externalities on the environment, the adoption of circular economy practices is important to minimize these impacts and contribute to achieving sustainability in the sector and communities. In this sense, the main objective of the investigation is to analyze the benefits of circular economy practices in the hotel sector in Luanda, Angola. The research is qualitative in nature, presenting the main circular economy practices implemented in the hotel sector and the perception of managers and employees of hotels in Luanda about the benefits of adopting these practices. The study shows that there is little knowledge about organizational practices related to the circular economy; however, some hotel units realize the benefits of the circular economy and have already implemented some of these practices. This study can contribute to science because it is one of the few to analyze the adoption of circular economy practices and principles in the hotel sector in African cities.
