    (Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias de la Hospitalidad, 2026-03-04) Patiño Solano, Christian Sebastián; Pineda Campoverde, Iván Ronald; Sánchez Rodas, Lourdes Monserrat
    This research analyzes the factors that affect student dropout in the Hospitality and Hospitality career at the University of Cuenca during the period 2020–2022. A qualitative-descriptive approach was applied, structured in three phases: theoretical review, analysis of academic indicators and interviews with dropout students and institutional authorities. The results show that dropout responds to personal, academic, social, and economic factors, intensified by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the main causes are lack of vocation, demotivation, academic pressure, economic difficulties and poor adaptation to virtuality. Cohort analysis shows an increasing trend of dropout, with a rate of 48.57% in the 2022 cohort. It is concluded that dropout is a multifactorial phenomenon that requires institutional strategies of academic accompaniment, vocational guidance and socioeconomic support, especially during the first semesters, in order to reduce early dropout and improve student retention.

    Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de un lodge en el cantón Santa Isabel, provincia del Azuay
    (Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias de la Hospitalidad, 2026-02-12) Naranjo Ávila, María José; Ávila Vélez, Tania Karolina
    The Yunguilla Valley, in the Santa Isabel canton, is receiving an increasing number of visitors drawn by its warm climate and beautiful landscapes, especially during weekends and holidays. Amid this growth, a significant limitation is evident: the accommodation options remain concentrated in traditional inns, lacking the more immersive and specialized experiences characteristic of a lodge. This observation motivated the present proposal, whose purpose is to analyze the feasibility of implementing such an establishment that meets the evolving expectations of visitors and contributes to the diversification of tourism in the valley. This study began with a review of the territorial and tourism context of Santa Isabel, as well as the profile of those who visit the area, to better understand their preferences and travel habits. Furthermore, a market analysis was conducted to identify the current state of supply, potential demand, and appropriate strategies for positioning a lodge in the sector. Finally, economic viability was assessed by estimating the necessary investment, sources of financing, and projecting income and expenses, using financial tools to determine the project's long-term sustainability. Together, these elements provide a clear picture of Yunguilla's potential to host a lodge and the relevance of promoting a proposal that complements the existing tourism offerings.

    Propuesta de un modelo para las asignaturas de Práctica de Servicio Comunitario 1 y 2 que integren prácticas alineadas al perfil académico de los estudiantes de la carrera de Hospitalidad y Hotelería de la Universidad de Cuenca
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-11) Arce Alvear, Camille Vanessa; Reinoso Cumbe, Erika Tatiana; Sánchez Rodas, Lourdes Monserrat
    This intervention project aims to develop a proposal for a comprehensive model for the implementation of the subjects of Community Service Practice 1 and 2, which integrates activities aligned with the graduation profile of the students of the Hospitality and Hospitality career of the University of Cuenca. The research was carried out with a qualitative approach, through a review of documents and records provided by the Hospitality and Hospitality Career Directorate and the Coordination of Linkage with Society of the Faculty of Hospitality Sciences. In addition, semi-structured interviews were applied to administrative staff, teachers and students selected for convenience. The information collected was processed through discourse analysis with the Atlas.ti 23 software (inductive-deductive coding) and subsequently analyzed through narrative analysis. The results showed a weak connection between some linking projects and the graduation profile, due to the poor communication between tutors and students, the lack of follow-up to the activities developed and the low student motivation. Based on these findings, a model was designed that establishes general guidelines for the management of Community Service Practice subjects, which was validated with students to respond to the expectations of the actors involved. It is concluded that the proposed model contributes to improving student satisfaction and optimizes the management of pre-professional internships in the Hospitality and Hospitality career.

    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-11) Carrión Luna, María Emilia; Ortiz Lojano, Gabriela Elizabeth; Saquicela Aguilar, María Esthela
    The following work aimed to analyze the influence of electronic word of mouth (eWOM) on the digital reputation of 4-star hotels located in the Historic Center of Cuenca during the years 2022-2024. The research was developed in three phases: exploratory, descriptive and quantitative. 795 reviews were obtained from the platforms (Booking, Google), Power BI and ATLAS, Ti 23 tools were used to perform an analysis of the reviews. Reviews were categorized into positive, neutral, or negative to identify patterns, trends, and key factors influencing the guest experience. Among the factors that stand out the most are attention from the staff, cleanliness and location. Trends related to the variation of scores throughout the period analyzed and the behavior of the eWOM in different months of the year were also identified. In addition, the strategies related to the eWOM in each hotel were analyzed, where it was evident that hotels such as the Hotel Forum present a response level of more than 99% on the two platforms, while the Hotel Los Balcones does not respond to comments on either of the two platforms, thus demonstrating the differences that exist in the management of online reputation. This study allows us to understand the importance of eWOM to improve hotel competitiveness in a world where technology is increasingly present, highlighting the need to maintain an active management of digital reviews to improve guest experience and strengthen the online reputation of hotel establishments.

    Revisión sistemática de la literatura (RSL) sobre la aplicación de los códigos de ética en la industria hotelera
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-03-10) Bonilla Tenén, Maribel del Pilar; Ortiz Aguayza, Diana Elizabeth; Sánchez Rodas, Lourdes Monserrat
    Through this study, a systematic literature review (RSL) was carried out on the application of codes of ethics in the hotel industry with the aim of analyzing the influence that the implementation of these standards has on the hotel environment. A document analysis was applied based on the PRISMA protocol (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) using the Scopus database as a reference. In addition, a bibliometric analysis of articles from 2004 to 2024 was carried out to evaluate the impact of research on ethics in the hotel industry. Through a comprehensive analysis of the studies, it was possible to examine various approaches applied by hotel companies to integrate ethical practices into their operations, where relevant trends and gaps in the influence of codes of ethics in the hotel sector were determined. It was concluded that the accommodation industry is not governed by a certain code of ethics, but is guided by its beliefs and moral values based on already established norms. In addition to this, the application of ethics in the hotel industry depends on contextual and demographic factors such as age, level of education, religion, category of the establishment, geographical location and origin of resources, which means that the rules must be constantly adapted and reconsidered to prolong their effectiveness.
