El turismo como factor de desarrollo en el capitalismo del siglo XXI: impactos sociales y ambientales

Abstract

Considerando el turismo en el contexto global capitalista, estudiamos cómo dicho contexto afecta a las actividades turísticas. Los elevados niveles de crecimiento de las actividades turísticas durante el último medio siglo intensifican los impactos sociales y ambientales propios del capitalismo tanto en sus aspectos favorables –alta capacidad de generación de empleo-, como en sus efectos adversos -precariedad laboral con elevado nivel de explotación de clase e impactos sobre el ambiente-. A largo plazo todo ello lleva a situaciones en las que los desequilibrios socioambientales eclipsan los beneficios obtenidos, especialmente en los ámbitos del cambio climático y el agotamiento de combustibles fósiles. Por tal motivo, la reducción del turismo de larga distancia se convierte en una tarea prioritaria, de difícil abordaje dada la evolución de su crecimiento en el largo plazo, en un contexto que da prioridad a la acumulación de capital sobre cualquier otra consideración.

Considering the tourism in its global capitalist context, we study how this context affects tourist activities. The high levels of tourism growth during this last half century intensify the social and environmental impacts of capitalism, both in its favorable aspects, -high capacity to generate employment-, as well as in its adverse effects - contexts of job insecurity with high level of class exploitation and impacts on the environment-. In the long term, this leads to situations in which the importance of socioenvironmental damages eclipses the benefits obtained, especially in the areas of climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels. As a consequence, the reduction of long-distance tourism becomes a priority task, which runs head-on with the evolution of its long-term growth in a context that prioritizes the accumulation of capital over any other consideration.
