Resumo: The objective of this study was to identify and analyze the environmental actions and practices developed by the hotel sector in the municipality of Mossoró, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeast Brazil. We performed a qualitative research with semistructured forms applied to the managers of eight hotels. From this, it was identified that there are some environmental actions developed in the projects studied, such as changing towels and bedroom clothes on demand and using flow controllers in showers and toilets. The selective collection of solid waste is carried out in most establishments, as well as environmental education activities aimed at sensitizing employees and guests about the actions developed. Six hotels have an environmental policy, and only one has ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Thus, it is concluded that, although some environmental actions and practices are developed and managers realize the importance of environmental issues, in general, the environmental management is not regarded as a commitment of companies with environmental responsibility and compliance with legal standards, but rather as a form of marketing and saving of financial resources.

Se realizó una encuesta de enfoque cualitativo con formularios semiestructurados aplicados a los gerentes de ocho hoteles. A partir de eso, se identificó que existen algunas acciones ambientales desarrolladas en los emprendimientos estudiados, como cambio de toallas y ropa de habitación bajo demanda y, uso de controladores de caudal en duchas y vasos sanitarios. La recolección selectiva de residuos sólidos se realiza en la mayorí­a de los establecimientos, así­ como, actividades de educación ambiental dirigidas a sensibilizar a empleados y huéspedes sobre las acciones desarrolladas. Seis hoteles tienen polí­tica ambiental y, sólo uno tiene las ISO 9001 e ISO 14001. De este modo, se concluye que, a pesar de que se desarrollan algunas acciones y prácticas ambientales y de los gerentes percibir la importancia de las cuestiones ambientales, de manera general, la gestión ambiental no se considera un compromiso de las empresas con la responsabilidad ambiental y el cumplimiento de las normas legales, sino como una forma de marketing y ahorro de recursos financieros.O presente trabalho teve como objetivo, identificar e analisar as ações e práticas ambientais desenvolvidas pelo setor hoteleiro do municí­pio de Mossoró, no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, nordeste do Brasil. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de abordagem qualiquantitativa com formulários semiestruturados aplicados aos gerentes de oito hotéis. A partir disso, identificou-se que existem algumas ações ambientais desenvolvidas nos empreendimentos estudados, como troca de toalhas e roupas de quarto sob demanda e, uso de controladores de vazão em chuveiros e vasos sanitários. A coleta seletiva de resí­duos sólidos é realizada na maioria dos estabelecimentos, assim como, atividades de educação ambiental voltadas à sensibilizar funcionários e hóspedes sobre as ações desenvolvidas. Seis hotéis têm polí­tica ambiental e, apenas um tem as ISO 9001 e ISO 14001. Desse modo, conclui-se que, apesar de serem desenvolvidas algumas ações e práticas ambientais e de os gerentes perceberem a importância das questões ambientais, de maneira geral, a gestão ambiental não é tida como um compromisso das empresas com a responsabilidade ambiental e cumprimento das normas legais, e sim, como forma de marketing e economia de recursos financeiros.Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN)2018-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer reviewed Revisado por paresAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.apps.uern.br/index.php/GEOTemas/article/view/898JOURNAL GEOTEMAS; Vol. 8 No. 3 (2018): Revista Geotemas; 07-28REVISTA GEOTEMAS; Vol. 8 Núm. 3 (2018): Revista Geotemas; 07-28Revista Geotemas; v. 8 n. 3 (2018): Revista Geotemas; 07-282236-255Xreponame:Revista Geotemasinstname:Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN)instacron:UERNporhttp://periodicos.apps.uern.br/index.php/GEOTemas/article/view/898/810Copyright (c) 2018 REVISTA GEOTEMASinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSoares, Ilton Araújo Oliveira, Angélica Grécia Pereira de Cesar, Pedro Henrique 2020-06-22T15:12:19Zoai:ojs2.periodicos.apps.uern.br:article/898Revistahttp://periodicos.apps.uern.br/index.php/GEOTemas/indexPUBhttp://periodicos.apps.uern.br/index.php/GEOTemas/oaigeotemas@uern.br||josielguedes@yahoo.com.br2236-255X2236-255Xopendoar:2020-06-22T15:12:19Revista Geotemas - Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN)false
