Abstract
This article examines economic instruments of government support for the greening of the hotel industry. The relevance of analyzing the French model is substantiated. Key environmental policy tools are identified, including tax incentives, grant programs, investment support, mandatory environmental assessment, and regional support mechanisms. An overview of France’s core legal acts is provided. The study defines five components of the French model: legislative obligations, institutional support, fiscal tools, territorial programs, and the integration of environmental assessment into tourism policy. The model’s effectiveness is demonstrated by the growth of eco-certified hotels, increased investor engagement, and participation in national sustainability initiatives. The findings support the feasibility of adapting the French experience to promote the sustainable recovery of Ukraine’s hotel sector in the post-war period.
