Abstract

Cojímar is a small town in the east of Havana city. Founded in the middle of the 16th century, it experienced some development as a spa at the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, interrupted only by the exploitation of the Eastern beaches on the Havana seashore. A sustained decline that no other economic activity has been able to stop began at that time together with a significant environmental deterioration. This paper analyses the potentialities and constraints Cojímar faces in recovering its tourism operations without compromising the environment and offers some proposals in this regard.

This paper shows the necessity and advantages of using indicators in research dealing with the environment, particularly assessment of the operation of treatment plants, with the objective of improving the quality of effluents, as well as achieving sustainable tourist activity without negative consequences for the environment. The system of indicators developed allows environmental assessment of the area and the development of higher quality tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
