Resumen
Descripción
La actividad turística siempre se ha destacado por generar un desarrollo en diferentes sectores económicos. Su principal materia prima es básica: puede ir desde un simple atractivo natural, una infraestructura turística, una fiesta o hasta un plato típico. Sin embargo, todavía esta actividad económica cuyo principal insumo es el servicio, y en donde no se fabrican productos, sigue desarrollándose en muchos casos de manera informal y mal planificada, generando un deterioro de los diferentes recursos naturales y culturales. Es por todo eso que Colombia viene hoy formulando políticas orientadas al ordenamiento y regulación de esta actividad con un enfoque sostenible; sin embargo el reconocimiento y aplicación por parte del sector no ha sido claro debido a la forma como desde la política se concibe la sostenibilidad y, por ende, el turismo sostenible. Este trabajo hace un recorrido crítico por la forma como la sostenibilidad se incorpora y aplica en la legislación turística.
The touristic activity always has stood by generating development in different economic sectors. Its main raw material is basic: it can go from a simple natural attraction, a tourist infrastructure, a party or, till a dish. However, this economic activity whose main asset is service and in which there aren’t manufactured products, still is developing in many cases in an informal way and poorly planned, generating a deterioration of natural and cultural resources. This is why Colombia is currently formulating policies aimed at planning and regulation of this activity with a sustainable approach. However, the recognition and the enforcement of the sector have not been clear due to the way that the policy conceives sustainability hence, sustainable tourism. This work makes a critical tour through the manner how sustainability is embodied and applied in the tourist legislation.
