Colombia is characterized by occupying the first places in biodiversity worldwide, thanks to its natural wealth. The island of San Andres is an example of this richness; however, it faces challenges in social and economic development; this situation, added to the concern for protecting the environment, leads to the establishment of strategies that meet the needs of the population, taking into consideration the concept of sustainable development. To this end, and as will be seen in the document, a different alternative to sun and beach tourism on the island of San Andres is proposed, which contributes to the conservation and sustainable use of the strategic mangrove ecosystem and expands the supply of nature tourism services, through community strengthening and articulation with other business initiatives with a sustainable approach proposed by the community, which can be translated into a mechanism for economic development.
