Resumen
(ES) Aunque la sostenibilidad, en turismo, genera cada vez más conciencia, en Ecuador y en especial en la ciudad de
Guayaquil, es necesario evaluar cómo esas prácticas sostenibles se ejecutan dentro de la restauración. Para ello, se
revisaron los indicadores utilizados en estudios previos, y se elaboró un instrumento de evaluación, que se aplicó a
una muestra de 121 establecimientos gastronómicos de la ciudad de Guayaquil. Los resultados mostraron que los
restaurantes desarrollan prácticas de sostenibilidad con regularidad (siempre o casi siempre), siendo los de 5
tenedores, los ubicados al norte, los que poseen certificaciones y los no franquiciados, los establecimientos que
registraron mayor constancia en la ejecución de dichas prácticas, especialmente en la dimensión económica.
Además, las certificaciones y su organización como franquicia son factores que inciden en la frecuencia con la que
practican ítems vinculados a la sostenibilidad.

To this end, the indicators used in previous studies were reviewed, and an evaluation instrument was developed, which was applied to a sample of 121 gastronomic establishments in the city of Guayaquil. The results showed that restaurants develop sustainability practices regularly (often or very always), with those with 5 forks, those located in the northern part of the city, those with certifications and non-franchises, being the establishments that registered the greatest frequency in the execution of said practices, especially in the economic dimension. Furthermore, certifications and their organization as a franchise are factors that affect the frequency with which they practice items linked to sustainability.
