The concept of water footprint is used to understand the relationship between tourism and water consumption. This document discusses the implications of this approach of consumption, especially in dry environments that depend on underground extraction of water. The information comes from secondary sources review and its contextualization to the case of Guanacaste. The purpose of this paper is to provide some orientation to the discussions taking place among several involved participants in the area about the usage of water in dry environments and how this orientation should manifest itself in public policies that guide water management. En este artículo se reflexiona sobre el uso del agua en servicios y actividades propias del turismo de sol y playa en regiones secas como Guanacaste, en el Pacífico norte de Costa Rica. Para entender la relación que se establece entre la actividad turística y el consumo de agua, se utiliza el concepto de huella hídrica. Se discuten las implicaciones de este modelo de consumo especialmente en ambientes secos, donde se depende de la extracción subterránea del recurso hídrico. La información proviene de fuentes secundarias. El propósito de este artículo es aportar a las discusiones que están realizando diversos actores en la zona sobre el uso del agua en ambientes secos y cómo esto debiera manifestarse en políticas públicas que guíen la gestión del agua.
