The construction of Mahahual as a tourist destination has its foundations during two periods of government, 1993-1 and 1999-2005, during which all the necessary structural transformations were carried out to generate the conditions that would allow the entry of transnational companies. The area 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 show how the penetration of capital into Mahahual has transformed the productive processes and has promoted an inclusive and exclusive tourism at the same time, which promotes the establishment of local and international investments through capitalist expansion processes oriented to the acquisition of property and the use of natural landscapes. The methodology used for the development of the research is qualitative. A bibliographical search was carried out to demonstrate the State's strategy for occupying the territory since the last century and the gradual, continuous and informal ways that allow national and foreign investors to 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 creation of collective means of consumption that are recognized by society and, ultimately, the benefits are tourist capital.
