Abstract
This study presented the level of Environmental literacy of the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management Students. It sought to identify the profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, year level, program, and monthly family income. Furthermore, know the level of environmental literacy of the respondents in terms of environmental knowledge, hope, attitude, and behavior. To serve the purpose of the study, a quantitative descriptive design was used. The respondents of the study were from Lipa City Colleges students enrolled in the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management program who were at least 17 years old and older.. According to the findings of the study, the level of environmental literacy of the CITHM students has a high significant relationship, which means that there is a significant relationship between the level of environmental knowledge, hope, attitude, and behaviour when it comes to age, sex, year level, program, and monthly family. Therefore, students must practice their engagement and awareness of the environment, which will provide them with the skills necessary to maintain environmental sustainability in the future. Future researchers may use the study as a reference for studies involving environmental literacy among college students, specifically the tourism and hospitality students.
