Resumen
La acumulación de residuos sólidos representa un grave problema que afecta tanto la
biodiversidad como el potencial turístico de un lugar. La problemática originada en Puerto
Colombia, Atlántico, se centra en la creciente acumulación de residuos sólidos que el río
Magdalena arrastra a lo largo de su recorrido y termina vertiendo sobre sus playas,
amenazando seriamente el desarrollo turístico local y regional. Teniendo en cuenta esta
situación, la presente investigación se enfoca en dilucidar la problemática y plantear posibles
soluciones acerca de cómo caracterizar los residuos sólidos en las playas, identificar
responsabilidades institucionales, diseñar estrategias sostenibles y establecer alianzas
estratégicas. Estos esfuerzos no solo buscan preservar el entorno natural y mejorar la calidad
de vida de los residentes, sino también fortalecer la competitividad turística del municipio.
Todo esto se realizó, a través de un enfoque metodológico mixto, teniendo en cuenta la
amplitud y profundidad del problema. Los resultados de este estudio muestran que esta
problemática subraya la urgencia de coordinar políticas con entidades gubernamentales para
implementar estrategias sostenibles y revertir la contaminación que el río Magdalena está
produciendo en Puerto Colombia, afectando seriamente el turismo, el cual es una fuente vital
para la economía local. La presencia de residuos sólidos puede disuadir a los visitantes y
afectar la imagen del municipio como destino turístico. Esta situación es especialmente
crítica para Puerto Colombia, que posee un potencial turístico significativo debido a su
ubicación estratégica y atractivos naturales.
The accumulation of solid waste represents a serious problem that affects both biodiversity and the tourism potential of a place. The problem originating in Puerto Colombia, Atlántico, focuses on the growing accumulation of solid waste that the Magdalena River drags along its route and ends up dumping on its beaches, seriously threatening local and regional tourism development. Taking this situation into account, this research focuses on elucidating the problem and proposing possible solutions on how to characterize solid waste on beaches, identify institutional responsibilities, design sustainable strategies and establish strategic alliances. These efforts not only seek to preserve the natural environment and improve the quality of life of residents, but also strengthen the tourism competitiveness of the municipality. All this was done, through a mixed methodological approach, taking into account the breadth and depth of the problem. The results of this study show that this problem highlights the urgency of coordinating policies with government entities to implement sustainable strategies and reverse the pollution that the Magdalena River is producing in Puerto Colombia, seriously affecting tourism, which is a vital source for the local economy. The presence of solid waste can deter visitors and affect the image of the municipality as a tourist destination. This situation is especially critical for Puerto Colombia, which has significant tourism potential due to its strategic location and natural attractions.
