International promotion through the Honduras brand

The Honduras Tourism Institute (HTI) is the entity in charge of promoting tourist development in Honduras. The authorities are working on promoting Honduras in foreign countries and attracting tourists from different potential markets such as Europe, which has shown an increase of 73% in arrivals since 2004. The HTI is promoting the country through the Honduras brand with the slogan ‘Honduras: everything is here’. Honduras is expected to become more deeply involved in overseas promotional activity and to join forces with other Central American countries to promote the region as a whole, highlighting the main tourist attractions in the country, such as the Tela, Utila and las Islas de la Bahía (the Bay Islands).

Foreign tourists are attracted to Honduras by the Mayan ruins in Cobбn and coral reef skindiving off the Islas de la Bahнa (Bay Islands). Poor infrastructure, however, has discouraged the development of substantial international tourism. Despite these problems, the number of visitors arriving in Honduras rose from fewer than 200,000 in 1987 to almost 250,000 in 1989. Small ecotourism projects in particular are considered to have significant potential.
