Abstract

One of the things that educational institutions, especially universities, can contribute is human resources. The human resources that need to be prepared are not only those who are ready to work but also those who are ready to create jobs and work by providing added value. Entrepreneurship education from an early age is an important foundation for building a generation that is creative, innovative, and financially independent. Although entrepreneurship education is very important, economics education at the school level is often theoretical and lacks practical experience. This is understandable because of the tasks and demands of the curriculum. This is precisely where universities have an important role to play as centers of knowledge distribution to spread the spirit of entrepreneurship. Community service activities are designed to provide practical understanding of basic economic concepts—such as capital, production, buying and selling, and competition—to students at Citra Kasih School. The activity was held on Thursday, September 19, 2025, from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. The method used was a buying and selling simulation game with a role-playing approach. Students were divided into four roles: Seller, Buyer, Supplier, and Observer. The results of the activity showed high enthusiasm from all participants. Through the simulation, students directly experienced the challenges of managing capital, developing sales strategies, and facing market competition. It was found that not all sellers succeeded in selling their products, which was an important learning point about market dynamics. This activity succeeded in increasing students' understanding of economic transaction flows and fostering a healthy competitive spirit.

Abstract

This study reviews how sustainable practices affect financial performance in the hospitality industry. Growing environmental awareness, government rules, and changing customer expectations are pushing hotels, resorts, and restaurants to include sustainability in their daily operations. Using the SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis) method, 32 relevant studies were reviewed from major academic databases. The results show that sustainability can improve profits when treated as a long-term investment rather than a short-term cost. Key actions such as saving energy, reducing waste, using renewable energy, and applying circular economy ideas help lower costs and attract customers who care about the environment. Green certifications and open communication about eco-friendly efforts also strengthen brand image, build customer trust, and increase occupancy rates. Government incentives and clear regulations further support green innovation and reduce financial challenges. However, businesses still face barriers such as high initial costs, limited funding access, and inconsistent ways of measuring economic results. Overall, this review finds that sustainability and financial success can go hand in hand. Sustainable business models can help hospitality businesses stay competitive, resilient, and profitable in the long run. Future research should focus on finding the most cost-effective green practices and exploring regional differences in sustainable performance.
