“…Important investments were implemented after the independence, including also the energy sectors [9]. Significant reforms are approved in the field of energy efficiency for residential and accommodation buildings, due also to the strategic interest for the tourism sector (Assenova, Georgiev & Dunjic, 2016). The economic crisis had a strong negative impact in 2009 (Table 2), anyway the country economy recovered quickly.…”

This paper investigates the relationships between energy consumption and GDP growth for 6 Western Balkan countries over 10 years period from 2005 to 2014. The countries under consideration are: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia, FYR. The aim of this study is to evaluate the energy demand across time and within these countries. The other variables that are considered in the model are the Electricity use per capita, the Oil price referred to Crude Oil International markets price expressed in USD and the exchange rate. Recently, numerous empirical studies have been conducted to detect this relationship, but not specifically to the Western Balkan region. There are general characteristics, due to the common historical background, but also specific patterns of the economic structure shaping the energy demand of each country. The main approaches to energy demand modeling are the Bottom-up and Top Down approaches. Currently important research is conveying also toward the Hybrid models. The demand in this countries is very susceptible to external oscillations, leading to severe exogenous impacts on the long term equilibrium, fitting more towards a top down macroeconometric model.

La evidencia empírica confirma que las técnicas preventivas generan beneficios para los entes económicos y el medio ambiente (Molina et al 2015) y que el potencial de implementación de la eficiencia en el uso de los recursos y producción más limpia (RECP) en el sector hotelero, se orienta la eficiencia en el uso de la energía, el agua, clasificación de residuos y reducción de emisiones y vertimientos; constituyéndose en la herramienta para disminuir los impactos ambientales, reducir costos, mejorar el desempeño competitivo, la imagen corporativa y la relación con las parte interesadas (Assenova et. al 2016;Wahala et.al, 2012; United Nations Industrial Development Organization & United Nations Environment Programme, 2010).…”

RESUMENEl sector hotelero en el contexto Latinoamericano se enfrenta al reto de ser competitivo y sostenible. La eficiencia en el uso de los recursos y Producción más limpia (RECP) como la estrategia que integra la eficiencia productiva, protección ambiental y desarrollo humano, permitiendo crear valor y mejorar el desempeño competitivo. Este estudio caracteriza el aporte existente de la RECP y describe su potencial contribución a la competitividad en el sector hotelero del Departamento del Atlántico-Colombia, desde la perspectiva de la estrategia competitiva y la creación de valor compartido, desarrollando una investigación descriptiva con enfoque cuantitativo y análisis descriptivo en 36 hoteles mediante un instrumento con preguntas cerradas de escala nominal y Likert. Observándose que la aplicación de RECP permite obtener condiciones de efectividad económica, ambiental y social en un nivel medio, orientadas estrictamente a la maximización del beneficio económico y al cumplimiento de la regulación. Se concluye que la RECP ofrece la oportunidad de replantear las estrategias competitivas orientándolas a crear valor compartido mediante la vinculación de variables ambientales y sociales a la gestión organizacional como fuente de innovación, productividad y ventaja competitiva.Palabras clave: Eficiencia de recursos y producción más limpia (RECP); competitividad del sector hotelero; creación de valor compartido; Departamento del Atlántico-Colombia. RESOURCE EFFICIENT & CLEANER PRODUCTION (RECP) FOR THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR ABSTRACTIn the Latin-American context, there is a challenge related to hotel sector, which needs to be competitive and sustainable. The Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) as a strategy that involves productive efficiency, environmental protection, and human development, allows creating value and improving the competitive performance. From a perspective of competitive strategy and creating shared value, this study characterizes the relevance of cleaner production and describes its potential contribution to the competitiveness of the hotel sector in Atlántico, Colombia. We developed a descriptive research with a quantitative approach and a descriptive analysis in 36 hotels, through a survey with closed questions with nominal and Likert scale. The RECP allowed obtaining an economic, environmental and social effectiveness in a medium level, to maximize the profits and to fulfill the statutes. We concluded RECP gives the opportunity to rethink the competitive strategies to the creation of shared value through linking environmental and social variables with the organizational management as a source of innovation, productivity, and competitive advantage.
