PROPUESTA DE DISEÑO DE HOTEL PAISAJE PARA PROMOVER EL TURISMO EXPERIENCIAL EN EL SENDERO ECOLÓGICO CONDOR MACHAY EN LA PROVINCIA DE PICHINCHA

Abstract

This research proposes the architectural design of a landscape hotel located on the Cóndor Machay ecological trail in order to promote the experiential tourism in the country. Likewise, this project is of a social, economic and environmental nature since it contributes to the development of the Rumipamba parish, located in the province of Pichincha. The Cóndor Machay ecological trail includes a waterfall route that has a great variety of flora and fauna and currently does not have infrastructure for hotels in the sector. For the correct development of the project, a compilation of pertinent information on alternative and sustainable tourism is made. Likewise, three analogous cases of landscape hotels were analyzed, a type of accommodation that prioritizes contact with nature, among which are VIVOOD hotels, in Spain; SJCC Glamping Resort in South Korea and as a local analogous case, Mashpi Lodge located in the Chocó reserve was analyzed. Among the applied methodology, interviews and surveys were carried out and from the information obtained was useful for the design of the project.
