Resumen
La presente investigación desarrolla un Programa de Gestión Ambiental para el hotel Starfish Cayo Santa María, como respuesta a la necesidad creciente del perfeccionamiento del desempeño ambiental. Teórica y metodológicamente fundamenta la validez de la sostenibilidad como modelo de desarrollo que promueve la minimización de los impactos ambientales que provoca el turismo sobre el medio ambiente y que es posible implementar a través de una gestión ambiental organizacional que garantice la armonía entre el crecimiento económico y la preservación y el uso racional de los recursos naturales que lo sustentan. Mediante el empleo de la metodología de diagnóstico de la Resolución 135/2004 del CITMA se elabora el diagnóstico ambiental de la instalación con la correspondiente determinación de los aspectos y problemas ambientales y su grado de significancia, a partir del uso de métodos y técnicas de análisis tales como la encuesta, el estudio de documentos, la observación, la comparación de datos y el paquete SPSS-21 para el procesamiento estadístico entre otros. Como resultado principal, se estructura el Programa de Gestión Ambiental, adecuado a las condiciones específicas del hotel y validado mediante el criterio de expertos, con el que se corrobora la factibilidad de su aplicación. Este resultado tributa a la etapa de planificación del Sistema de Gestión Ambiental y representa una oportunidad para la mejora del desempeño ambiental organizacional en el “Año Internacional del Turismo Sostenible para el Desarrollo”.
