Resumen

The large influx of tourists worldwide as well as the expansion of tourism events increase the environmental impact caused by hotel services. The aims of this work were to characterize the solid waste generated by hotel sectors, and to compare that waste generation between different events organized in the enterprise. The data collection was performed using qualitative and quantitative characterizations, where the waste generation in each sector and the type of event organized, were registered. The results showed that most residues were found in the kitchen, bathrooms, rooms, and at the event hall, with higher values being generated in the festive events. The waste generation by these events corresponded to 48 % of the total generated in the lodging, while 8 % corresponded to the business events. The difference between the characterization of waste generated in festive events and that of business events, along with no occurrence of event at all, showed that it could be attributed to the increase in the per capita generation of categories of waste, primarily glass. The results obtained in this study are essential to the creation and/or improvement of a management plan of solid waste in lodging facilities.
