(6)Accommodation Andacollo: A Contribution to the Sustainable Development of Andacollo

摘要

Given the need of housing for workers of the Hypogene Project at Cía. Minera Carmen de Andacollo in 2007, Teck developed accommodation together with the community. In this way, in 2010 the group network of lodgings was born. Initially the efforts were oriented to the maintenance of the old model of business accomplished in 2007, but thanks to the future view of the community together with Teck, the company legal formation was completed, taking charge not only of business, but also tourism. The product of this new way of seeing the business to the date, has meant the consolidation of the network as a business corporation with a makeover (Tierra de Astros)and the opening of new lines of business: Administration of Collawara's Tourist Observatory; working together with Chile Tourism to enhance Andacollo as an touristic alternative in abroad, participation and award for the fourth consecutive year of CORFO (Corporation building production)Encouragement Program that has allowed us to achieve an international certification in the grade of the company's services. Work currently presented is a continuation to the discussion in the previous SRMINING (Wiertz, 2013)and reflects that the road to success has been long and winding. Breaches of trust and teamwork on the project and each other (business partners)that were one of the main problems for the final success, they have considerably diminished and today, Andacollo's lodging spa (Tierra de Astros)is a contribution to the sustainable development of Andacollo, helping to promote, encourage and stimulate the entrepreneurship and self-employment, and generating jobs and income in a community characterized by these, largely on account of mining. The challenges for the future and success of this associative project, go through that society stand firm the conviction of what can be done to make it better tomorrow.
