The concern of academics and practitioners towards the environment and the inclusion of green practices in the supply chain is important in the literature. However, in the context of the hospitality industry, further investigation is needed. The present study aims to examine the nexus between green supply management practices on the competitive advantage and organizational performance of 5-star hotels in Bali, Indonesia. The quantitative design adopted in this study involved 145 respondents from 5-star hotels in Bali, Indonesia, then analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results revealed that green supply chain management practices positively and significantly affect the performance and competitive advantage of five-star hotels. Also, the results show that competitive advantage functions as a mediator. The theoretical research findings are the relationship between variables, especially competitive advantage as a mediator variable, while from a practical point of view it shows that managers need to build competitive advantage to strengthen hotel business performance. Therefore, green supply chain management practices are recommended to be applied in five-star hotels as an effective competitive advantage strategy.
