| Popis: | This paper aims to identify, diagnose and evaluate the practices of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of eight hotels of different sizes located in Santa Marta, Colombia. From the theory of sustainable development based on ethic, the case study method was applied. It was found that hotel companies are located within a range of minimum, low and medium application, classified in philanthropic-reactive, legal-reactive and active groups, giving greater importance and value to the development of economic activities related to customers, product, workers and local suppliers. The study provides useful information on CSR, to improve decision making, both hotel owners, and their most influential stakeholders. Specifically, for employers, management and operation; for political leaders, public policy in the sector; for customers, in purchasing decisions; for academy, in decisions about ongoing investigations or further research; for local community, enabling control and monitoring legitimize or business. Future research should include more stakeholders and companies from other economic sectors in the study area. |
