Abstrakt: The United Nations has strengthened the implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the tourism industry promoting a COVID-19 recovery. A dominant interpretation of the SDGs prioritises numbers over people's development -the neoliberal view-This exploratory research examines the challenges of implementing SDG8 in Ecuador. Applying a critical discourse analysis, it was found that although the national policies are presented as opposing neoliberalism, the discourse indicates otherwise, and power relations must be challenged. This paper has delved into policy issues and suggests significant adjustments to construct an understanding on sustainable policy, innovation, and decent work.
