Towards a viable model for water management in boutique hotels in Tulum
Abstract:
Water is a strategic and scarce resource for the
tourism industry, especially in mature, seasonal destinations and areas with
water scarcity. Therefore, efficient management of this resource is essential
for the sustainability of the tourism sector. The Tulum municipality is a
destination facing water scarcity challenges. One of the tourism sectors facing
the most pressure to achieve sustainability is accommodation. The management of
water, energy, and solid waste presents significant challenges. Recent research
highlights that water consumption varies according to the hotel's category.
Boutique hotels, due to their size and focus on the guest experience, have a
great opportunity to implement water management practices, reducing consumption
and improving efficiency. Besides the benefits in operational costs, these
practices enhance customer satisfaction and the hotel's sustainable image.
Thus, this research focuses on efficient water management in boutique hotels in
Tulum through the Systemic Paradigm, generating synthesis with sustainable and
resilient models aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
associated with water and responsible consumption. This is fundamental for
sustainability in the tourism sector.

Hacia un
modelo viable de gestión del agua en los hoteles boutique de Tulum
Resumen
El agua es un recurso estratégico y escaso para la
industria turística, especialmente en destinos maduros, estacionales y zonas
con escasez hídrica, por lo que su gestión eficiente es primordial para la
sostenibilidad del sector turístico; el municipio de Tulum es un destino que
enfrenta dicho desafío. Uno de los servicios turísticos con mayor presión para
lograr la sostenibilidad son los de hospedaje, por lo que la gestión del agua,
energía y residuos sólidos, son grandes retos que presentan. Investigaciones
recientes destacan que el consumo de agua varía según la categoría del hotel;
por ello, los hoteles boutique, debido a su tamaño y enfoque en la experiencia
del huésped, tienen una gran oportunidad de implementar prácticas de gestión
del agua reduciendo el consumo y mejorando la eficiencia, además de los
beneficios en costos operativos, mejora la satisfacción del cliente y su imagen
sostenible. Por ello, esta investigación se enfoca en la gestión eficiente del
agua en hoteles boutique de Tulum mediante el Paradigma Sistémico para generar
síntesis con los modelos sostenibles, resilientes y alineados con los Objetivos
de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) asociados al agua y su consumo responsable,
siendo esto fundamental para la sostenibilidad en el sector turístico.

Resumo:
A água é um recurso
estratégico e escasso para a indústria do turismo, especialmente em destinos
maduros, sazonais e áreas com escassez de água. Por conseguinte, a gestão
eficiente deste recurso é essencial para a sustentabilidade do sector do
turismo. O município de Tulum é um destino que enfrenta desafios de escassez de
água. Um dos sectores do turismo que enfrenta maior pressão para alcançar a
sustentabilidade é o do alojamento. A gestão da água, da energia e dos resíduos
sólidos apresenta desafios significativos. Estudos recentes revelam que o
consumo de água varia consoante a categoria do hotel. Os hotéis boutique,
devido à sua dimensão e ao seu enfoque na experiência do hóspede, têm uma
grande oportunidade de implementar práticas de gestão da água, reduzindo o
consumo e melhorando a eficiência. Para além dos benefícios nos custos
operacionais, estas práticas aumentam a satisfação do cliente e a imagem
sustentável do hotel. Assim, esta pesquisa tem como foco a gestão eficiente da
água em hotéis boutique em Tulum por meio do Paradigma Sistêmico, gerando
síntese com modelos sustentáveis e resilientes alinhados aos Objetivos de
Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) associados à água e ao consumo responsável.
Isso é fundamental para a sustentabilidade no setor de turismo.

1.
Efficient
water management is a crucial aspect for the sustainability of the tourism
sector, especially in destinations such as Tulum that face water challenges. In
this sense, as Elkhwesky (2022) points out, the hotel industry is currently
trending towards the implementation of business strategies that favor
environmental performance and thus obtain a “green image”.
Tourism
requires a significant increase in the demand for fresh water to cover the
needs of drinking water, hygiene, activities such as swimming pools and spas,
and the irrigation of green areas, which consequently also represents an
important challenge for water sustainability, especially in water-stressed
regions such as Tulum. This is why among the most common environmental
practices implemented in the hotel industry involve water conservation and
reuse, among other environmental practices (Díaz-Farina et al., 2022).
In
this sense, considering the boutique hotels that, due to their very nature,
represent market offerings defined by different levels of quality,
individuality, novel experiences, expressiveness and style-oriented layout
(Parolin and Boeing, 2019; Strannegard and Strannegard, 2012), they allow
implementing various strategies to reduce their water footprint and align with
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Such measures not only reduce water
consumption and mitigate the negative impacts on communities, the environment
and natural resources, but can also generate significant economic savings for
the facilities.
This
research focuses on developing a systemic model for integrated water management
in boutique hotels in Tulum, through the diagnosis of current management, the
identification of actors, components and interrelationships of the system, the
definition of the basis of relevant systems, the integration of these systems
into a viable model and its contrast with reality for its enrichment with feasible
changes.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
To
study the background, a consultation of the articles of the last three years
was made, focused on the related topics: Water consumption and its impact on
hotels, Water resources in Mexico and Systemic Approach, such consultations
have the purpose of developing a critical discourse between the characteristics
of the research with the theoretical and conceptual supports.
The
General Systems Theory (GST) is considered as an integrating discipline of
natural and social sciences that encompasses living and non-living systems
through isomorphic principles, but which in turn leaves internal interactions
intact, thus embracing their complexity and studying the system as a whole (Van
Gigch, 2012), several authors use this paradigm to respond to current
socio-environmental problems.
As
a result, authors such as García-Buades, et al. (2022) emphasize that, in
recent years, the findings of the study on the effects of excessive tourism on
residents' perceptions and the moderating role of contextual factors suggest
key management tools for achieving more sustainable destinations.
In
addition, some authors such as Becerra-Vicario et al; (2022), highlight a key
area of interest for researchers in the gap generated by strategic actions aimed
at increasing sustainability and the obstacles to its implementation and in
which these academic contributions are not conclusive since they have found
both positive and negative relationships, however, the same contributions have
been directed towards social innovation in this sector, this being a factor
that favors the undermining of this gap.
On
the other hand, several authors such as Diaz-Farina et al. (2022),
Hewa-Heenipellage et al, (2022), relate the dimension of the impacts generated
by hospitality services and the planning of mitigation strategies on the
aforementioned situations, in addition to correlating the behavior of guest
profiles with improvement strategies and generating real cost savings for the
organizations, all of which together lead these organizations to improve their
performance in terms of sustainability in the five main pillars: economic,
governance, social, ethical and environmental.
On
the other hand, some global and Mexican organizations have evaluated, studied
and analyzed the causes of the deterioration, status and trends of ecosystem
services, resulting in a water crisis present in the world and in various
states of the Mexican country (UNESCO, 2023) (CONABIO, 2019), (SEMARNAT, 2023).
The municipality of Tulum presents the same scenario in relation to water
resource, so, consequently, tourism activities and specifically hotel activity
have sought ways to generate their own methods of obtaining this resource (FUND
FOR COMMUNICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, 2017).
Due
to the above and based on the definition of Water Resources Management proposed
by the World Bank, it refers to it as the process of planning, development and
administration of such resources, both in terms of quantity and quality, and in
all water uses (World Bank, 2022). Under this premise Gabarda-Mallorquí et al.
(2022), Huggins et al., (2023), Santos et al., (2023), among others, mention
the need to analyze the connections between the state of exploitation of the
sources of water resources, with the economic and human activities of a
destination, to result in an efficient and effective distribution and
preservation of this resource.
In
this sense, since tourism and its water management within boutique hotels in
the municipality of Tulum is treated as a complex social system, which depends
on its parts and the interactions between them to function; as defined by Van
Gigch (2012), we will rely on the science of control and communication to
achieve a self-regulating and balanced system, which refers to the first order
cybernetics proposed by Wiener (2017), however, to achieve a viable system, we
will study such organizations, using a Viable System Model, based on the
Organizational Cybernetics proposed by Stafford Beer, which postulates changing
the traditional managerial thinking, interrelating functions, roles and areas
of an organization, in order to achieve a system that is able to exist
independently but can change according to the requirements of the environment
(Jackson, 2016).
Development
Tulum
is considered a seasonal tourist destination that currently faces serious
challenges of water scarcity, on the other hand, water management within
boutique hotels in Tulum is a questionable practice. In addition, the tourism
boom in the region has significantly increased the demand for water, putting at
risk the availability of this vital resource for the sustainable development of
the area. For this reason, the research is based on the General Systems Theory
(GST), predecessor of the Systemic Paradigm, which offers a holistic and
transdisciplinary approach to understand the complexity of water management in
tourism.
Traditional
science, according to Campbell (1952), Chalmers (2006) and Kerlinger (1973),
has sought to explain, classify and predict the phenomenon under study,
generally relying on three paradigms: positivist, interpretive and critical
(Tejeida, 2005). These paradigms guide the researcher in the development of
theory in research (Lorenzo, 2006).
In
relation to this, unlike the paradigms, the Systemic Paradigm emanates from
Systemics, a young science that includes a variety of approaches and concepts
about its nature, formality, applicability and scope. It is constituted by
concepts, theories, models and methodologies, but which in turn has its own method
(Systemic Paradigm), which gives support to the other disciplines, i.e., it is
a metadiscipline (Tejeida et al., 2016). This means that the main
characteristic of the Systemic Paradigm is that it is supported by the use of
positivist and interpretive paradigms; trying to reach a dialectical synthesis,
considering them not as opposites but as complementary; so the result is not
only limited to trying to explain and understand the phenomenon, but to
generate changes to improve the system and transform reality (Tejeida et al.,
2016).
It
is important to point out that the Systemic Paradigm, in the modern age, has
its origins in the development of the General Systems Theory (GST); This theory
was enunciated and defined by Ludwing von Bertalanffy (1947), who considered it
within what he called global theories. He created this theory after observing
how the theoretical problems in the biosocial sciences were faced by
mechanistic schemes of isolable causal pathways and meristic treatments
(division into parts) were insufficient, Therefore, he considered approaching
these problems with a more holistic vision, thus introducing in his writings
the idea of seeing organisms as a system and declaring that the laws of the
systems manifest themselves as analogies, that is, that formally identical laws
are applied to totally different phenomena (Bertalanffy, 2004).
Thus,
GST can be understood as a common language that connects knowledge from diverse
areas in interdisciplinary communication and The Systemic Paradigm represents
the scientific approach that provides a universal method to interpret a
research problem. The aim of this is to establish general principles applicable
to the study of all types of existing systems at all levels and in all
disciplines (Skyttner, 2001).
In
addition, several authors such as Vargas (2013), Miguélez (2011), Grün et al.,
(2008), affirm that Systems Thinking is a tool that allows us to face and solve
problems that involve great complexity, such as those related to the
organizations of human beings. Since, as mentioned by Vargas (2013), such
systems can be seen from multiple parts, without leaving aside their internal
dynamics constituted by the set of actions that result in a complex set of
relationships and interrelationships motivated particularly so that such
actions and relationships have a meaning in each of the dimensions of that
system and thus deduce the meaning of such actions and the relationships that
occur within the context. According to Morin (2000), the complexity of a system
is neither determinant, linear nor stable, in addition to the fact that they
are open systems that are always in a process of change, sometimes requiring
autonomy and sometimes dependence, which is why they are far from equilibrium.
3.
METHODOLOGY
To
develop the Systemic Paradigm and interpret the interrelationships between the
various actors and components of the system, the Total Systems Intervention
Methodology is used, which, through the context-problem matrix proposed by
Jackson (1991), allows us to identify that the object of study is a complex
system since there are a considerable number of elements and
interrelationships; The closer and more numerous the relationship between its
components, the more complex the system will be (Francois, 2004); with respect
to the participants, this is adjusted to the pluralistic one, since all those
involved, even with different interests and objectives, there is a common
objective present in all the participants; likewise, the relationship of its
participants in the unitary one is considered, since they share interests,
beliefs and values, so that in order to make a decision, all individuals must
participate. Being the Complex-Pluralistic-Unitary System. With the above, the
most accurate to occupy, according to the System of Systems Methodologies; is
the Soft Systems Thinking (Checkland, 2001) and Organizational Cybernetics
(Perez Rios et al., 2008), as shown in Figure 1.
The Soft
Systems Methodology (MSS), consists of 7 stages, as shown in Figure 2 and
Figure 3: 1) Investigation of the unstructured situation, 2) Structuring of the
situation, 3) Identification of relevant systems, 4) Construction of conceptual
models, 5) Comparison of models, 6) Definition of feasible and desirable
changes, and 7) Implementation of changes. Such a methodology, as Checkland
(1999) plans, is useful for interpreting unstructured problem situations or
soft problems of high social content based on formal systems thinking.
The Soft
Systems Methodology (SSM) is complemented by the Viable System Model (VSM) of
Organizational Cybernetics, which offers a powerful systemic model for
integrated water management in boutique hotels in Tulum.
Authors
such as Garcia-Baudes et al. (2022) state that the factors that imply achieving
optimal resource management in a tourist destination are: 1. the effects of
tourism on the quality of life of residents, 2. the efforts of local
governments to control the impacts of tourism, 3. the impacts associated with
tourism as a result of the decisions of local governments, 4. the development
of initiatives by tourism companies to attract responsible and friendly
tourists, and 5. the promotion of tourism products in seasons beyond the mass
tourism seasons.
On the
other hand, it is relevant to point out that the destinations that consume the
most water are coastal destinations due to the activities inherent to their
nature (swimming pools, showers after visiting the beach, etc.) (Ruíz, et al.,
2018). Based on this, authors such as Santos et al., (2023), refer that, in
order to create an integral evaluation of the water resource, it is important
to do so from an interdisciplinary perspective that amalgamates knowledge from
various domains such as environmental, social, political and technological
sciences, as well as to evaluate the complex factors that shape water resource
management strategies. Complementing the above, Huggins (2023), highlights the
importance of optimizing groundwater management, since land use around the
areas where water is obtained is increasingly intensifying, and the author also
highlights the potential of human activities in the same territory and the
importance of the dependence of certain ecosystems that depend on groundwater
and that this consequently affects the downstream land areas, thus changing the
amounts of water obtained and its distribution. That is why Dalin et al.
(2017), states that the sustainability of groundwater use represents the water
security of people and food supply chains at various scales ranging from local
to global; for this reason, there is currently a great interest worldwide in
interpreting the connections between the state of exploitation of an aquifer
with the economic and human activities that occur on its surface and thus be
possible to understand this relationship in order to create new avenues for
sustainable groundwater management (Gleeson et al.,2020a; Gleeson et al.,
2020b; Huggins et al., 2023).
The
Viable System Model (VSM) is a systemic diagnostic and design tool based on
organizational cybernetics, which will allow us to: 1) Identify the parts of an
organization that are paramount to its viability, 2) Pinpoint structural
deficiencies and any existing parts that are not involved with the viability of
the organization, 3). Maximize the autonomy of the actors operating the
organization, 4) Ensure an integrated and balanced, synergistic and close
relationship and functioning of the parts, and 5) Design the planning systems
in which strategies must be developed in the context of a changing
environmental setting (Beer, 1985). Thus, for the fulfillment of the
aforementioned, organizations must go through the existence of functions or
subsystems that the MSV identifies as essential in 5 systems that Stafford Beer
proposes: System 1: It is responsible for producing and delivering to the
environment (market, etc.) the goods or services that the organization
produces. From here, the rest of the systems have as mission that this system
fulfills its purpose, System 2: It is in charge of coordinating the operations
of the system, System 3 and 3*: Responsible for monitoring and verification to
optimize the functioning of system 1, composed of the different operational
units, System 4: Its main function is to monitor the evolution of the
organization's environment, taking care of the outside and the future of the
organization.
4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Within
the development of stage 1 of the MSS, the system under study is defined, with
the expectation that the integration of MSS and the MSV will allow the
identification of structural deficiencies and the parts of the hotel
organization that are essential for sustainable water management. It is also
expected that the model will help maximize the autonomy of the actors involved
and ensure an integrated relationship and functioning of the parts of the
system. Figure 4 shows the elements that comprise the system, as well as its
environment and macro-environment.
In
reference to figure 4, it refers to the boutique hotels in Tulum and water
management as the key systems from which we will start to identify the elements
and actors that are directly linked to the activities carried out by the
systems, thus considering the geographical location of the municipality of
Tulum, in addition to all the systems for obtaining, storing and distributing
water within the municipality, as well as the services, characteristics and
personnel that differentiate a boutique hotel, in addition to the participation
of guests and inhabitants.
Regarding
the environment, this is made up of all the elements that have a direct
relationship with the system and that hinder its viability and therefore the
system must face. Here we can find local, state and municipal governmental
organizations, as well as civil associations.
Finally,
the macro-environment is made up of certain elements that have an indirect
impact on the system, limiting or allowing the ideal development of its
activities and which are elements that have jurisdiction. These elements
include technological factors, social trends, legal environment, political
factors and ecological factors.
We continue with the study of the problem situation,
which constitutes the generation of the rich vision of the system and its
interaction with the environment, thus identifying the interrelationships
between the elements mentioned in the previous figure. These elements will be
represented by icons as shown in figure 5.
Within
the table, elements and interrelationships are established that represent the
degree of conflict between each one of them, using the red traffic light, which
represents the highest degree of conflict, yellow intermediate degree and green
without conflict. Figure 6 shows the representation of the scheme of the rich
vision of the system and its environment, as well as the interrelationships
mentioned above.
In reference to the graphic representation of the
previous table, within the relationships of the inner circle, we can identify
the presence of conflict, so that structural deficiency is observed due to the
inefficient organization by the managers/owners of the hotels and in relation
to the services offered to the guests and that directly affect the community.
It can also be observed that, within the environment, there are those elements
that are not part of the system, but that directly affect it, being closely
linked to its activity and influencing its viability. In this environment, the
main conflicts identified correspond to inefficient governance and governability
on the part of the local, state and national governments, thus affecting water
management in the municipality. Regarding the macro-environment, composed of
elements with weak impact on the system, the need to enforce the laws and
regulations can be appreciated, and thus far these relations are deficient,
which shows that in relation to this there is not an optimal application.
When
unifying the three levels, the lack of linkage between government, compliance
with laws and regulations by the hotel sector, and also, the absence of
technological equipment, can be appreciated.
5.
Integrated
water management in boutique hotels in Tulum requires a systemic approach that
considers the complexity of the interrelationships between different actors,
such as society, business, environment, government and academia. The Systemic
Viable Model developed in this research can serve as an effective tool to boost
competitiveness in hotels and improve the sustainability of the tourism sector
in destinations with water scarcity.
It is
important to mention that MSS, thus far, have been carried out based on
phenomenology and hermeneutics to define the system and diagnose the current
situation of the problem.
Seeking
the construction of a systemic model for water management in boutique hotels in
Tulum aims to improve the way in which tourism copes with the emerging contexts
to which the sector is exposed, which is why it is proposed to study these
contexts through organizational cybernetics with the use of MSV, thus creating
the basis for future studies that deepen its feasibility and create the basis
for a paradigm shift that can increase the academic heritage of tourism.
