Análisis comparativo de la aplicación de buenas prácticas de Turismo Sostenible en las Hosterías Live the Life y Aventura Park en el cantón Girón, acorde a la Guía Rainforest Alliance 2005

Abstract

Nowadays, the tourism industry has become one of the most important sectors for the country's economy; however, adequate planning and management is needed to achieve its sustainable development. Hotel activity should implement an environmental management system to help promote care for nature and well-being of the local community. If a hotel establishment were to implement more sustainable practices, it would make great profits for both the company and the population. Currently the Live the Life and Aventura Park inns have chosen to introduce into their infrastructure some sustainability measures that help reduce the environmental impact on the sector, as well as to improve their profitability and avoid unnecessary or excessive expenses. That is why this graduation work aims to carry out a comparative analysis of the application of good sustainable tourism practices in Live the Life and Aventura Park inns in canton Giron of the province of Azuay, according to the Rainforest Alliance Guide of the year 2005, in addition, the percentages of compliance in each of the areas of sustainability and a thorough analysis for each criterion that this guide addresses will be known.
