Abstract
La transición hacia una Economía Circular, es decir, hacia una economía orientada
a la eliminación de los residuos, es uno de los grandes vectores de innovación y cambio
del presente siglo, al que el sector turístico no es ajeno. En este contexto, el objetivo de este
trabajo es doble: por una parte, exponer los principios de aplicación de la Economía Circular
en dicho sector, con singular referencia a los nuevos modelos de negocio circulares; y
por otra, presentar los primeros avances en este campo a nivel de un destino turístico en la
provincia de Huelva (España). El estudio exploratorio realizado revela las prioridades de
los empresarios, que ratifican determinadas apreciaciones puestas de manifiesto en la literatura.
La toma de conciencia entre los mismos parece existir, pero se echa en falta una
acción colectiva a nivel de destino que la canalice en acciones concretas articuladas en un
plan.
The transition towards a Circular Economy, that is, towards an economy oriented towards waste elimination, is one of the major vectors for innovation and change in this century, to which the tourism sector is also part. In this context, the aim of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, to expose the principles of application of the Circular Economy to that industry, with particular reference to the new circular business models; and, on the other hand, to present the first advances in this field at the level of a tourist destination in the province of Huelva (Spain). The exploratory study carried out reveals the priorities of tourism companies, in line with certain contributions existed in the literature. The awareness among business people seems to exist, but a collective action is lacking at the destination level to channel it into concrete actions articulated in a plan.
