<br/><br/> The purpose of this study was to evaluate the green practices of selected lodging establishments in the municipality of Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. The study examined the profile of these establishments, their level of participation in major ASEAN Green hotel criteria, such as environmental policy and actions for hotel operation, use of green products, and collaboration with the community and local hotels. Additionally, the study explored the employees' commitment to environmental practices, and the relationships and significant differences between the variables. The green practices of the lodging establishments were evaluated using a descriptive quantitative method, and the study was conducted in nine different establishments. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The majority of lodging establishments had recently started their hotel operations and the implementation of green practices. However, among the major criteria for ASEAN Green hotels, lodging establishments frequently practiced environmental policy and actions for hotel operation. The lodging establishments were observed to be committed to upholding green practices. Based on the three major ASEAN hotel criteria, including environmental policy and actions for hotel operation, use of green products, and collaboration with the community and local hotel, there were significant differences in the levels of practice among the lodging establishments. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the major ASEAN hotel criteria and the guests' and hotel's commitment to environmental practices. The study found that there was a significant relationship between the ASEAN green hotel criteria and commitment to environmental practices. There was also a significant relationship between the environmental policy and actions for hotel operations of lodging establishments and the guest and hotel commitment. This means that the more frequently lodging establishments implemented environmental policies and actions for hotel operations practices, the more committed the guests and hotel were to maintaining the environmental practices<br/>Keywords: Green practices, lodging establishments, commitment, ASEAN Green Hotels<br/>  Thesis (Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management)
