Corruption

Hotel

Management is a career where

students are taught to operate a Hotel or
a restaurant, and it has many areas.
Mainly, it is divided in the operational one
or the administrative one.

Also

students are taught to be responsible

when they start working and in case of
putting a hotel, respect the rules and laws
about protected natural areas (ANP`s),
which are places that are administrated by
authorities and organisms like the
SEMARNAT, CONAFOR, UNESCO, etc. This
places are recognized because of their
history value, plants and animal species,
etc.

As

to what it`s said above, there is a lot

of corruption in Mexico, because people
that have a lot of money, buy that
authorities and organisms to put hotels in
biosphere reserves, which is a subdivision
of the protected natural areas, where
people can`t change the ecosystem.

More than 60 people, between

businessman and politician, have been
jailed because of illegal permits.

Pilar

Marcos, who is responsible of the

Greenpeace Coasts campaign, declares
that in Lanzarote, a biosphere reserve
located in Spain, there are 22 illegal
urbanistic projects that violate the local
normative and also the Coastal Law, which
determines and protect the public,
maritime and land domain.

Another

kind of corruption in the hotel

management is when the proprietary pays
to the auditors of different certifications
like Distintivo H, Punto limpio, Distintivo M
or ISO9001:2008, so the auditor sings
that the Hotel meets with all the
requirements to have it or conserve it ,
when it`s a lie because they don`t
deserve to have the certification.
