Views of the importance of the hotel sector and its impact on the environment, most of the international hotels tend to rationalize water consumption as a requirement of development in the hotel sector. The aim of this study is to identify the extent to which hotels in Hurghada are committed and raising awareness among decision makers and employees to rationalize water consumption. The study community consisted of (25) five star hotels in Hurghada. The Questionnaires were distributed to managers and heads of (25) hotels, while twenty-two questionnaires were accepted but three were rejected.
