El artículo es un intento de entender las percensiones de los profesores de las Universidades de Piauí, Maranhão y Rio Grande do Norte con respecto a la gestión de la cadena de suministro verde en el sector de la hostelería. La metodología utilizada fue una investigación cualitativa exploratoria con la aplicación de tres cuestionarios relacionados con las prácticas ambientales en la industria de la hospitalidad a los profesores de turismo de dichas universidades. Los resultados del estudio indicaron que los profesores entienden perfectamente las mejores prácticas ambientales en la industria de la hostelería, como el uso eficiente del agua y la energía y la reducción de los residuos sólidos, pero que este conocimiento no se filtra al sector empresarial, lo que impide la gestión de la cadena de suministro verde en la práctica.

This article examines the perceptions of students of tourism in UFRN, about the study of the dimensions of touristic sustainability along the Course. The specific objectives were: to draw the learners’ profile; to verify awareness, competence and preparation of students in relation to the dimensions of touristic sustainability; to identify the concerns of students in relation to the Course. The methodology had a descriptive-exploratory character, with qualitative-quantitative approach, through analyzes using a statistical software. It was found that most learners are young and does not work in the area, despite their capacitation; they are aware about the environmental issues, but they are unreliable to deal with some social aspects, they have concerns about the disciplines and the conciliation of theory with practice.

O presente artigo trata de um ensaio teórico conceitual focalizado nas relações do ecotu- rismo com o processo de globalização e as contradições que envolvem crescimento econômico e o desenvolvimento. Nos procedimentos metodológicos levantou-se a seguinte hipótese: o ecoturismo de base comunitária é um aliado do processo de construção do desenvolvimento das populações autóctones. Para tanto, foram trabalhadas questões como o envolvimento da economia solidária, do turismo comunitário e do ecoturismo na perspectiva de colaborar com a inserção da comunidade lo- cal na atividade turística. Nesse contexto, esse trabalho aborda questões sobre o ecoturismo de base comunitária, questionando o imperativo do desenvolvimento na formação do bem estar dos seres humanos e observando também seus benefícios para a comunidade autóctone.
