This article aims to analyze the civil construction projects of the hotel industry in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, through statistical modeling, regarding the issue of accessibility. The key point of the study was to diagnose how these hotel construction projects were prepared to receive disabled tourists during the period of Mega events. The methodology used is based on an analysis of the data obtained through the Inventory of the Tourist Offer of the State of Rio de Janeiro in the counties of Rio de Janeiro and Niterói, applied to the quantitative of approximately 400 hotel units. From the point of view of civil construction projects, an accurate diagnosis of accessibility was possible, pointing to the development of a benchmarking model. The relevance of the study is also to contribute to raising awareness of the tourist and civil engineering markets relating to people with disabilities or reduced mobility and the possibility of reversing the current scenario in Rio de Janeiro, since it can be emphasized that the investigated hotels do not show the necessary accessibility, due to the small number of hotels that reach the accessibility requirements of Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT NBR 9050: 2015). For civil construction, there is the accurate confirmation that the hotel industry of the Metropolitan Region is not accessible. For society in general, it has been observed that the Mega events that occurred in the city did not leave a legacy of accessibility.
Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a questão da acessibilidade na indústria hoteleira em 5 regiões turísticas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - Costa do Sol, Vale do Café, Costa Verde, Agulhas Negras e Serra Verde Imperial. O ponto principal do estudo foi diagnosticar como os meios de hospedagem estão preparados para receber turistas com necessidades especiais. A metodologia utilizou uma modelagem estatística para analisar os dados obtidos por meio do Inventário da Oferta Turística do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (IOT-RJ), realizado entre 2015 e 2017, em 21 cidades pertencentes a essas regiões, incluindo 1.834 unidades hoteleiras. A relevância do estudo é contribuir para a conscientização da construção civil e do turismo em relação às pessoas com deficiência ou mobilidade reduzida. Como conclusão, destaca-se que os hotéis investigados nessas regiões não possuem os requisitos mínimos de acessibilidade para promover uma excelente experiência para pessoas com necessidades especiais (PNE).
