On this basis, this study analyzes management of the port environment and its impact on regional and national development for the cases of the ports of Callao, Valparaíso, Busan and Shenzhen; In so doing, the study focuses on best practices geared towards strengthening trade relations and how these facilities drive trade, resulting in an increase in the trade flow between countries. Methodologically, this is a descriptive-documentary study with a non-experimental design. The main results of logistics best practices are presented: they include the creation of a single window for port procedures, the strengthening of relations between actors related to trade and port operation, and the establishment of the port authority as the highest body for management and integration with the cities and the areas of influence.
