Summary

INTRODUCCIÓN

EL SECTOR turismo presenta una gran relevancia económica en los mercados internacionales y nacionales; su crecimiento desde inicios del año 2000 ha originado una competencia interesante en dónde la calidad en el servicio se convierte en la principal causa del éxito. Como el año 2017 fue el año internacional del turismo sustentable declarado por las Naciones Unidas, focalizando la importancia de preservar e implementar acciones desde aspectos sociales, económicos y ambientales[2]. Esta situación no fue ajena al Municipio de Guachetá Cundinamarca, en dónde al ser un pueblo pequeño con 12 mil habitantes aproximadamente, y 12 establecimientos que prestan servicios de hospedaje, diversión y aventura se vieron afectados por la llegada del COVID 19, generando el cierre de algunos establecimientos y afectando la economía alrededor del sector turismo; un aspecto relevante que marcó la pandemia en el municipio fue la reducción de las medidas de seguridad y salud en el trabajo así como las condiciones laborales ofrecidas
