Nuevos hoteles, aeropuertos y puertos cambiaron la forma en que la gente trabajaba y d\u00f3nde viv\u00eda. Los visitantes llegaron en n\u00fameros crecientes. El capital extranjero fluy\u00f3 hacia la tierra y los servicios. En una generaci\u00f3n, la econom\u00eda fue reconstruida m\u00e1s plenamente en torno a la demanda externa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El pa\u00eds se alej\u00f3 de una base de recursos limitada hacia una econom\u00eda de servicios ligada a la demanda externa. Al igual que en el per\u00edodo anterior, un enfoque m\u00e1s equilibrado podr\u00eda haber distribuido el crecimiento entre sectores y regiones. En cambio, la inversi\u00f3n y las oportunidades se concentraron en el turismo y en unos pocos centros urbanos. Para gran parte de la poblaci\u00f3n, las barreras en habilidades, acceso e infraestructura persistieron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las decisiones pol\u00edticas decidieron nuevamente c\u00f3mo se desarroll\u00f3 esta transformaci\u00f3n y qui\u00e9n se benefici\u00f3 de ella. La demanda y el capital externos crearon un crecimiento r\u00e1pido, pero tambi\u00e9n moldearon su estructura. Las decisiones del Estado reforzaron el camino a trav\u00e9s de incentivos, infraestructura e inversi\u00f3n selectiva. Este art\u00edculo sigue al blog anterior al mostrar c\u00f3mo la <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/las-bahamas-alcanzan-limites-turisticos\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"666\">modelo tur\u00edstico<\/a> se profundiz\u00f3 despu\u00e9s de la d\u00e9cada de 1920 y lo que eso signific\u00f3 para el crecimiento, la inclusi\u00f3n y la dependencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-new-shape-for-the-economy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Una nueva forma para la econom\u00eda.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-service-economy-anchored-in-tourism\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Una econom\u00eda de servicios anclada en el turismo.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La econom\u00eda de las Bahamas se alej\u00f3 a\u00fan m\u00e1s de la extracci\u00f3n de recursos hacia un <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/del-azucar-a-los-servicios-como-barbados-reconstruyo-su-economia\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"653\">estructura basada en servicios<\/a> anclado en el turismo. <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/cuando-se-agoto-la-caoba-como-belice-reconstruyo-su-economia-y-lo-que-el-caribe-aun-no-ha-aprendido\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"656\">Silvicultura y agricultura a peque\u00f1a escala<\/a> disminuy\u00f3 en importancia a medida que se desarrollaron las tierras y la atenci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica se mantuvo fija en los servicios al visitante. Hoteles, aeropuertos e infraestructura urbana se expandieron para soportar mayores flujos de visitantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esta reasignaci\u00f3n cambi\u00f3 tanto la producci\u00f3n como el empleo. Muchos trabajadores se trasladaron a puestos de servicios vinculados al turismo y la construcci\u00f3n. La econom\u00eda gener\u00f3 m\u00e1s ingresos, pero depend\u00eda en gran medida de un solo sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-growth-concentrated-in-urban-centers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crecimiento concentrado en centros urbanos.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El crecimiento urbano se aceler\u00f3 a medida que personas e inversiones se concentraban en Nassau y, m\u00e1s tarde, en Freeport. La migraci\u00f3n desde las Outer Islands aument\u00f3 a medida que los trabajadores buscaban nuevas oportunidades. La construcci\u00f3n de viviendas se expandi\u00f3, pero el acceso sigui\u00f3 siendo desigual entre las comunidades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La infraestructura mejor\u00f3 en zonas vinculadas al turismo y se rezag\u00f3 en otras. Aparecieron el hacinamiento y los asentamientos informales en distritos desatendidos. Esta concentraci\u00f3n reconfigur\u00f3 la vida urbana y el acceso a los servicios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-an-economy-tied-to-outside-demand\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Una econom\u00eda ligada a la demanda externa.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La dependencia externa se profundiz\u00f3 en el comercio, las finanzas y la producci\u00f3n. Las importaciones de alimentos, combustible e insumos se mantuvieron altas en relaci\u00f3n con la producci\u00f3n interna. <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/los-auges-economicos-de-republica-dominicana-pueden-ocultar-fragilidad-financiera\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"655\">Ingresos por turismo y capital extranjero<\/a> reemplaz\u00f3 las exportaciones como principal fuente de ingresos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los v\u00ednculos de producci\u00f3n nacional se mantuvieron d\u00e9biles en todos los sectores. Gran parte del beneficio se canaliz\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s de cauces de propiedad extranjera o controlados por la \u00e9lite. Esta estructura at\u00f3 el crecimiento a <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/exportar-enclave\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"667\">demanda externa y flujos de capital<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-demand-capital-and-a-narrow-path\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Demanda, capital y un camino estrecho.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-demand-and-proximity-set-the-path\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">La demanda y la proximidad marcan el camino.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La proximidad geogr\u00e1fica a Am\u00e9rica del Norte cre\u00f3 fuertes incentivos para la expansi\u00f3n del turismo. Los visitantes de Estados Unidos y Canad\u00e1 aumentaron a medida que mejoraron las condiciones de viaje despu\u00e9s de la guerra. Los aer\u00f3dromos y puertos de guerra sirvieron como plataformas para la aviaci\u00f3n comercial y los viajes masivos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La creciente demanda internacional hizo que el turismo fuera m\u00e1s rentable que los sectores tradicionales. El capital sigui\u00f3 estos incentivos hacia hoteles, transporte y servicios. El cambio favoreci\u00f3 las actividades que pod\u00edan responder r\u00e1pidamente a la demanda externa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-capital-and-incentives-narrowed-the-model\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capital e incentivos estrecharon el modelo.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inversionistas de Am\u00e9rica del Norte y Europa entraron en los sectores inmobiliario, hotelero y financiero. Las exenciones fiscales y las concesiones arancelarias hicieron que los t\u00e9rminos fueran atractivos. Las entradas de capital financiaron infraestructura y construcci\u00f3n r\u00e1pida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estas entradas tambi\u00e9n moldearon los patrones de propiedad y los retornos. La inversi\u00f3n fluy\u00f3 m\u00e1s f\u00e1cilmente hacia el turismo que hacia la agricultura o la industria. Con el tiempo, el camino m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil desplaz\u00f3 a los m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tourism-crowded-out-alternatives\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">El turismo desplaz\u00f3 a las alternativas.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las presiones locales y las opciones institucionales aceleraron la transici\u00f3n. El declive de sectores antiguos redujo las alternativas viables. Los disturbios laborales reflejaron tensiones salariales, de acceso y de oportunidades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existieron modelos de desarrollo competitivos, que inclu\u00edan la agricultura y la industria, pero perdieron a\u00fan m\u00e1s terreno. El <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/como-el-turismo-rehizo-las-bahamas-en-la-decada-de-1920\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"652\">modelo tur\u00edstico<\/a>, establecida por primera vez en el per\u00edodo de entreguerras, se extendi\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente y se convirti\u00f3 en dominante. Las inversiones repetidas y el apoyo pol\u00edtico afianzaron el camino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-policy-locked-the-model-in\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">C\u00f3mo la pol\u00edtica bloque\u00f3 el modelo.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-clear-policy-direction\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Una direcci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica clara.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El gobierno fij\u00f3 una direcci\u00f3n clara hacia <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/la-primera-decada-de-jamaica-1962-1972-crecimiento-sin-inclusion\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"654\">turismo y capital externo<\/a>. Las \u00e9lites pol\u00edticas y econ\u00f3micas se alinearon en torno a esta estrategia. La legislaci\u00f3n proporcion\u00f3 exenciones fiscales y alivio arancelario a los inversionistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los acuerdos otorgaron a los desarrolladores concesiones y privilegios a largo plazo. Estas reglas redujeron costos y aumentaron las ganancias de los proyectos tur\u00edsticos. El marco se\u00f1al\u00f3 consistencia y redujo la incertidumbre para los inversionistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-speed-through-delegation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acelera la delegaci\u00f3n.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La coordinaci\u00f3n p\u00fablico-privada permiti\u00f3 la r\u00e1pida expansi\u00f3n de la infraestructura y los servicios. El estado invirti\u00f3 en <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/auge-de-servicios-en-panama-crecimiento-sin-inclusion\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"657\">aeropuertos, puertos, carreteras y servicios p\u00fablicos<\/a> en \u00e1reas clave. Los roles de desarrollo importantes fueron delegados a actores privados en zonas de enclave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En Freeport, una autoridad privada administr\u00f3 la infraestructura y los servicios bajo un acuerdo a largo plazo. El acuerdo aceler\u00f3 el desarrollo con financiamiento p\u00fablico limitado. Tambi\u00e9n cre\u00f3 una gobernanza fragmentada en todo el territorio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-growth-without-broad-inclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crecimiento sin inclusi\u00f3n amplia.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las decisiones pol\u00edticas moldearon la distribuci\u00f3n y la capacidad en toda la sociedad. La inversi\u00f3n p\u00fablica se centr\u00f3 en \u00e1reas tur\u00edsticas y zonas de alto retorno. La educaci\u00f3n y la capacitaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica se expandieron lenta y desigualmente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muchos trabajadores carec\u00edan de acceso a las habilidades necesarias para puestos de mayor valor. Los servicios sociales y la infraestructura estaban rezagados en la mayor\u00eda de las comunidades. El resultado fue un sistema con un crecimiento s\u00f3lido y una inclusi\u00f3n limitada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-fast-growth-lasting-constraints\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crecimiento r\u00e1pido, restricciones duraderas.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las Bahamas lograron una r\u00e1pida transformaci\u00f3n en un corto per\u00edodo. El crecimiento se concentr\u00f3 en un sector y en lugares espec\u00edficos. Un enfoque m\u00e1s equilibrado podr\u00eda haber difundido las oportunidades y reducido la dependencia. El crecimiento impulsado por el turismo se gestiona mejor como un <a href=\"https:\/\/techrevlac.org\/es\/blog\/mexico-1994-2007-crecimiento-sin-politica-de-difusion-para-transiciones\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"668\">transici\u00f3n estructural<\/a>, no solo como una estrategia de expansi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tres fuerzas explican el resultado y ampl\u00edan el patr\u00f3n establecido en las d\u00e9cadas de 1920 y 30. El turismo remodel\u00f3 la econom\u00eda y concentr\u00f3 la actividad en los centros urbanos. La demanda externa y los flujos de capital impulsaron la velocidad y la direcci\u00f3n del cambio. Las pol\u00edticas estatales promovieron el turismo y permitieron una r\u00e1pida expansi\u00f3n, pero no aseguraron una inclusi\u00f3n amplia. Las mismas riberas y enlaces de transporte que se\u00f1alaron el cambio en el per\u00edodo anterior ahora marcaban un modelo m\u00e1s asentado con restricciones m\u00e1s profundas. El crecimiento cre\u00f3 empleos e ingresos, y at\u00f3 la econom\u00eda de manera m\u00e1s firme a la demanda externa y a capacidades limitadas. Sin una inversi\u00f3n m\u00e1s amplia en personas y sectores, los riesgos identificados anteriormente se volvieron m\u00e1s arraigados. El resultado no fue una ruptura con las d\u00e9cadas de 1920 y 30, sino una continuaci\u00f3n a mayor escala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between 1940 and 1960, tourism reshaped daily life across the Bahamas on foundations laid in the 1920s and 1930s.
