Glamping Hotel, tourism and comfort in the nature of Santo Domingo, Ecuador

Abstract

The economic development of countries is partly influenced by the amount of tourism they are able to receive throughout the year, both within and outside their cities. In Santo Domingo, Ecuador, the hotel sector has been characterized by a similar type of service in most hotel facilities and a lack of new ventures and options that achieve greater tourist attraction. For the development of actions that lead to new hotel construction projects with a variety of designs, it is important to conduct project analyses that take into account the design, resources, financing, and costs required, as well as assess the feasibility of the project in terms of recovering expenses and generating profits. This research analyzes a Glamping Hotel construction project in Santo Domingo, based on the criteria of a sample of residents and specialists with experience in the hotel industry. A qualitative-quantitative design and descriptive and documentary research methods were used, as well as inductive-deductive, analytical-synthetic, and historical-logical methods, in addition to MCDM. The projection of costs and investments in the entrepreneurial project with new forms of activities that take advantage of natural potential and motivate the client in a varied and systematic way in harmony with it, together with the financial results shown and the quantification of the NPV and IRR, demonstrate positive results in the project proposal and feasible implementation.
