Abstract

Mahahual, the formation of a territory for tourist capital.

Abstract

The construction of Mahahual as a tourist destination has its foundations during two government periods, 1993-1 and 1999-2005, during which all the necessary structural transformations were carried out to generate the conditions that allow the entry of transnational companies. It is part of the Costa Maya project due to the white sand landscape and the turquoise blue sea that characterizes it. It is important to visualize the way in which its social, environmental and tourist development will be presented, given the fragility of its ecosystems.

This work aims to demonstrate the way in which the penetration of capital to Mahahual has transformed productive processes and has promoted inclusive and exclusive tourism at the same time, promoting the establishment of local and international investments through capitalist expansion processes oriented to the acquisition of property and use of natural landscapes. The methodology used to develop the research is qualitative, a bibliographic search was carried out to demonstrate the State's strategy for the occupation of the territory since the last century and the gradual, continuous and informal forms that allow national investors and foreigners dispossess local groups of their properties.

It is concluded that the dialectical process of capitalism reflected in Mahahual allows groups of workers to establish themselves to guarantee that there is a process of creating collective means of consumption that are recognized by society and, ultimately, the benefits are tourist capital.
