要約:This article examines the historical period of the archipelago of San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina known as The Free Port (1953-1991), to show the main consequences of the accelerated development of tourism. The main idea is that the lack of coordination between authorities and local people regarding tourism planning caused an imbalance in social life, affecting economic, social and cultural development of raizal people. At the same time, tourism served as a mechanism for national sovereignty, playing a political role. The declaration of a free port in 1953 allowed the Colombian government an historical presence in the territory, ensuring the necessary cultural representation to avoid threats of foreign invasion. This accelerated the acculturation process of local people.
