Construcción de un turismo resiliente: análisis de la desigualdad socioeconómica, la sostenibilidad y la resiliencia climática en el ecosistema Airbnb de Jamaica

The document analyzes the impact of short-term rental platforms, specifically Airbnb, on Jamaica's socioeconomic landscape and climate resilience. It highlights that Airbnb properties are often concentrated in high-climate-vulnerability zones and that economic benefits are skewed toward high-income neighborhoods, exacerbating territorial inequalities. The brief advocates for mandatory safety audits, a comparative vulnerability index, and the use of geospatial data to align the platform economy with national disaster management plans and sustainable development goals.

• Airbnb properties in Jamaica are frequently located in areas with high climate vulnerability and often lack sufficient access to emergency services or shelters.
• The economic advantages generated by Airbnb are concentrated in higher-income neighborhoods, which reinforces existing territorial inequalities.
• There is a lack of minimum safety and resilience standards, resulting in unequal levels of disaster preparedness across properties.
• High-density tourism areas face significant environmental risks, specifically regarding the impact on fragile ecosystems and water pollution.
