Resumo: Tourism is an economic activity considered an excellent alternative for the development of destinations. However, economic activities are those that cause the most negative impact on the environment, so it is necessary to take actions to promote the sustainable development of destinations. The sustainability indicators constitute a development tool capable of providing information for the destinations' planning. The goal of this research is to develop a proposal allowing us to know the sustainability degree of tourist activity in Galapagos. For this, 71 indicators grouped into dimensions were selected: 19 environmental, 30 economic, 9 social, 9 political, and 4 technological. Through the use of the multi-criteria analysis technique of programming by goals, the Galapagos sustainability index was identified, which is below the desired values. The least distance is registered for the political dimension, while environmental issues register a greater distance. This situation occurs due to the accelerated growth of tourism that has caused greater migratory flows, pressure on natural resources, and the permanent danger of the exotic species' introduction putting the conservation of the Galapagos ecosystems at risk. Therefore, the authorities must establish policies and actions that minimize impacts and guarantee sustainability for the future.

Mediante la utilización de la técnica de análisis multicriterio de programación por metas se identifico el índice de sostenibilidad de Galápagos el cuál se  encuentra por debajo de los valores deseados, la menor distancia está registrada para la dimensión política, mientras que los temas ambientales registran mayor distancia; esta situación se da debido al acelerado crecimiento del turismo que ha ocasionado mayor flujos migratorios, presión sobre los recursos naturales y el peligro permanente de introducción de especies exóticas que ponen en riesgo la conservación del los ecosistemas de Galápagos. Por lo que se insta a las autoridades instaurar políticas y acciones que minimicen los impactos y garanticen la sostenibilidad para el futuro.Universidade Federal de São Paulo2020-10-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/1036210.34024/rbecotur.2020.v13.10362Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur); v. 13 n. 4 (2020): novembro/2020-janeiro/2021Brazilian Journal of Ecotourism; Vol. 13 No. 4 (2020): novembro/2020-janeiro/2021Revista Brasileña de Ecoturismo; Vol. 13 Núm. 4 (2020): novembro/2020-janeiro/20211983-9391reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismoinstname:Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)instacron:SBECOTURspahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/10362/8086Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSaeteros, AngelicaSilva, Edson Vicente daNuñez, Diego Paul Viteri2021-10-05T20:13:14Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/10362Revistahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/indexPUBhttp://www.sbecotur.org.br/rbecotur/seer/index.php/ecoturismo/oai||zneiman@gmail.com1983-93911983-9391opendoar:2021-10-05T20:13:14Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo - Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)false
