AB  - Students seldom contemplate the importance of sustainability in family businesses. Indeed,
the economic dimension of sustainability using performance statements remains a neglected
field of study. The case of a Spain family firm in the tourism sector, Meliá Hotels
International, is used to introduce students to sustainability analyses through the study of
the company's sustainability information. This provides instructors with an opportunity to
discuss the actual financial state of the company and how to improve some indicators, as
well as to present an overview of the long term sustainability of a family business.
A qualitative methodology is used based on the documental analysis of sustainability
reporting and information collected from the company's website and the media.
This case can be used in management and accounting classes at both the bachelor and
master levels. It is an important topic for users of financial information, entrepreneurs and
other stakeholders concerned with these issues.
