Nowadays, manufacturing and service industries are trying to have a Green orientation in their field of activity. However, the concept of greenwashing, which is a kind of mental deception of the audience, is the opposite of Green orientation, and the upcoming research aims to examine the components of this concept in the Hotel industry and provide solutions to deal with it. The current research has a developmental approach and theme analysis was determined as the method of data analysis.

Data analysis shows that environmental greenwashing, social greenwashing, lexical greenwashing, legal greenwashing, and food Greenwashing are the dimensions of the concept of Greenwashing in the hotel industry. Also, with digital tools and the correct culture we can deal with greenwashing.
