In recent years, companies have become more aware of the growing importance of integrating Environmental Management (EM) and Human Resource Management (HRM). The ever-increasing interest in the environment forces companies to move towards sustainable processes and formulate green strategies. Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has become a key business strategy for the essential organizations where Human Resource (HR) departments play a vital role in going green. Moreover, GHRM implements green policies and practices for environmental management and raises awareness among the employees about green environmental responsibilities. This study aims to explore the implementation of green human resource practices in Egyptian travel agencies. In this research, a quantitative approach has been used by distributing questionnaires among employees and managers of travel agencies. The study's population consisted of all the employees and managers of Egyptian travel agencies (A) in Cairo and Luxor. The research has utilized a questionnaire distributed among (298) employees. The total number of valid answered questionnaires reached 274 representing 91.94% of the distributed ones. After analysis, there were 24 questionnaires not valid for analysis. SPSS was used to analyze the collected data. The results exposed that Egyptian travel agencies didn't implement green human resource practices. Green training and development have been ranked as the best practice implemented with a moderate level in travel agencies. Furthermore, travel agencies face challenges to implementing GHRMP, such as lack of knowledge about environmental strategies, absence of green tools at the workplace, and implementation cost of green programs. The research recommends thattravel agencies have to include green considerations into all parts of their operations by defining; green values, practices, initiatives and rules.
