The Minister of Finance of President Virgilio Barco Vargas who at that time was Cesar Gaviria Trujillo, began to speak with insistence of internationalization of the economy and, therefore, of the opening of the country to the entry of foreign goods. Gaviria Trujillo went from saying to the fact when he was elected President in 1990 and then the situation of Maicao worsened dramatically, since it ceased to be one of the almost exclusive points where foreign goods entered, he became one supplier of homes and shops retailers in several cities.

Starwood capital takes a slightly different approach. And so the connoisseurs saw him.

Today the heart of the former sick beats more strongly than ever. There is a fact that gives life to Maicao despite low quote of the bolivar and its precarious trade with other cities in the country: the economy of Maicao ceased to depend on business with visitors and is based, mainly, of the multi8ples businesses that make the maicaeros between them.
