Práticas ambientais na seleção, no planejamento e na comercialização do ecoturismo : informações de agências de ecoturismo do Rio Grande do Sul

Machado, Álvaro Luis de Melo 10 June 2011 (has links)
Que critérios ambientais são utilizados para planejar, implantar e vender um produto de ecoturismo? Que práticas ambientais apresentam os destinos ecoturísticos? A dimensão ambiental é contemplada pelos agentes de viagem no planejamento, na implantação e comercialização de um pacote ecoturístico? A presente investigação propõe-se a examinar as práticas ambientais contidas na seleção de destinos de ecoturismo, no planejamento da atividade nos municípios detentores de tais destinos e na comercialização oferecida pelos agentes de viagem que proporcionam o contato do turista com o ambiente natural. Assim, o objetivo principal da pesquisa é examinar as relações que se estabelecem entre as informações que os gestores de agências de viagem têm sobre o ecoturismo e as práticas ambientais previstas na seleção, no planejamento e na comercialização de pacotes ecoturísticos. Para isso, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa exploratória, sendo o questionário e a observação direta as técnicas de coleta de dados. Para atender ao objetivo foram pesquisados 20 gestores de agências de ecoturismo do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. As observações diretas foram realizadas nos três principais destinos de ecoturismo do Rio Grande do Sul apontados pelos gestores das agências. As perguntas que compõem o questionário estavam relacionadas, além dos dados gerais dos gestores, à visibilidade das políticas ambientais da agência e do destino; à educação ambiental; ao compromisso ambiental da agência e dos destinos; à existência de programas de coleta seletiva de resíduos sólidos, de controle do uso da água, de diminuição do uso de energia elétrica e de coleta e tratamento de esgoto nos destinos turísticos; ao conhecimento de políticas de ecoturismo inseridas no plano diretor e na Agenda 21 dos municípios; às políticas de proteção ao ambiente natural; às medidas para minimizar impactos; aos impactos das construções e ao apoio da visitação pública como fator de proteção ambiental. Os resultados obtidos com a pesquisa permitem concluir que, em geral, as práticas ambientais não são consideradas critérios para a seleção dos destinos de ecoturismo e que as mesmas não estão presentes, em sua totalidade na formatação e comercialização dos pacotes de ecoturismo. Assim, é importante construírem-se novos conceitos na seleção, no planejamento e na comercialização do ecoturismo, nos quais as práticas ambientais sejam contempladas de forma efetiva. Nesse sentido, os cursos de graduação e de stricto sensu em turismo têm um papel fundamental na formação de profissionais para atuar na gestão das organizações turísticas baseadas em uma visão mais sistêmica, em que a dimensão ambiental faça parte do planejamento estratégico dessas organizações. Como foi constatado com a realização da pesquisa, é necessária uma gestão baseada em critérios ambientais, que determinem produtos que considerem a relação sustentável do visitante com o ambiente natural; que englobem as relações entre as pessoas (gestores de agências, gestores públicos, turistas e população local), com os recursos naturais disponíveis e o espaço que as mesmas necessitam para a realização de práticas ecologicamente adequadas. Nesse sentido, é possível que o entendimento do caráter sustentável do ecoturismo se torne mais visível para o agente de viagem e para o turista. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-03-06T16:50:43Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Álvaro Luis de Melo Machado.pdf: 2529941 bytes, checksum: 8a193097b17a33f7bc65a4d247fcbaf0 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-03-06T16:50:43Z (GMT).

Which environmental practices are presented in ecotourism destinations? Is the environmental dimension covered by travel agents in planning, implementing and commercializing an ecotourism package? This research proposes to examine the environmental practices contained in the selection of ecotourism destinations when planning such activities in towns that present those destinations and in the commercialization offered by travel agents who provide tourists contact with the natural environment. Thus, this research aims at examining the relationships established between the information that travel agency managers have about ecotourism and environmental practices provided in the selection, planning, and in the ecotourism commercialization package. We developed and applied an exploratory survey, composed by a questionnaire and direct observation techniques in the data collection. To attain the goal we surveyed 20 ecotourism agency managers in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Direct observations were conducted in three major ecotourism destinations in Rio Grande do Sul presented by those agencies responsible for ecotourism. The questions in the questionnaire were related, in addition to the general managers' data, to the visibility of the agency’s environmental policies and destination; to the environmental education, environmental commitment to the agency and destinations, to the existence of selective collection programs of solid waste, control of water use, reducing the use of electricity and sewage collection and treatment in tourist destinations, to the knowledge of ecotourism policies included in the cities’ Master Plan and Agenda 21; to policies to protect the natural environment; to measures to minimize impacts in the construction and support of public venue visits as a factor considered in the environmental protection. Results obtained indicate that, in general, the environmental practices are not considered criteria for the selection of ecotourism destinations and that they are not present in its entirety in the formatting and commercialization of ecotourism packages. Therefore, it is important to construct new concepts in the selection, planning and commercializing of ecotourism, where the environmental practices are addressed effectively. Accordingly, undergraduate and graduate courses in tourism have a major role in training professionals in the management of tourism organizations based on a more systemic view, where the environment makes part in the strategic planning of those organizations. As it was found in the research, management is required as based on environmental criteria which determine which products are to be considered for sustainable visits, according to the natural environment, covering relationships between people (managers, agencies, public officials, tourists and local people) with the available natural resources and places that need to have environmentally appropriate practices performed. Thus, the understanding of the sustainable ecotourism nature may become more visible to agents and tourists.
