Abstract

Sector of Hotels Farm is one of the most promising economic sectors for exploration of nature with minimal environmental impact. Allied to this, society as a whole has become more sensitive to aspects of sustainability of companies charging an ethical attitude towards their customers. In this context, the present work reports a field study, conducted with the Farm Hotels located in the Agreste of Pernambuco region. Aimed to map and analyse the social and environmental responsibility strategies used by hotels surveyed Farm and from there build a model for measuring efficiency through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and classification by means of the tool ELECTRE TRI. Also, we attempted to collect data to know the perception of guests over sustainable practices Hotels Farm. As a result the ELECTRE TRI allocated each hotel in a range of five ordered categories and it was observed that 50% of the hotels studied were classified into intermediate categories, indicating that integrated sustainability practices in these cases are conducted in incipient form. DEA already generated as a result there is a difference regarding the effectiveness of sustainable hotels, where three had scores of efficiency (100%) and was inefficient. However, no change of scenery when you change the inputs and outputs of the overall assessment. Finally, most of the guests offered to pay more for sustainable service. However, when they are hosted, are less sensitive to aspects of environmental responsibility practiced by Farm Hotels.
