The data was collected from 19 hotels in Langkawi Island via the survey questionnaire method. The survey questionnaire was administered to top management officers and staff. The questionnaire survey was conducted for 2 weeks and a total valid dataset includes 160 samples. This survey included four hotel departments which are i. Front Office, ii. Sales and Administration, iii. Food, Beverage, and Kitchen, and iv. Logistics, Maintenance, Safety, and Housekeeping. There are two analyses performed such as descriptive analysis and inferential analysis (non-parametric analysis). The descriptive analysis involved descriptive results of respondents' responses towards practicing green communication action in accommodation sectors. Meanwhile, two non-parametric analyses were performed such as the Mann-Whitney U test, to evaluate the differences in low-carbon practices among the manager and staff in the accommodation department and the Kruskal-Wallis H test, to see the differences in low-carbon practices for four hotel departments. Data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 26.
