| A growing global interest in sustainable purchasing result from the potential social and environmental impact of purchasing decisions, especially in the hotel industry. Hotels that adopt sustainable purchasing techniques and practices may not achieve sustainability and social responsibility because they misuse them, Therefore, the study aimed to Examine the correlation between sustainable purchasing practices & sustainability and social responsibility. The study used questionnaires for hotel managers and heads of departments in five-star hotels (chain & independent) located in the governorates of Luxor and Red Sea. 270 questionnaire forms were distributed to the participants. After examining the questionnaires, it was discovered that 29 of the questionnaires were unsuitable for analysis. As a result, there were 241 valid responses, resulting in a response rate of 89.26%. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS v.25) software was used to analyze the collected data. The result revealed that there is a significant and positive effect between the three dimensions of sustainable purchasing practices (Economic practices, environmental practices, and Social practices) and the three dimensions of sustainability (Economy, environment, and Social). | ||||
