Honduras today is on the brink of an economic breakthrough similar to those that occurred in many neighbouring countries during the last decade. Increasingly, international companies are choosing Honduras as the optimal place to transfer their business activities to. Its strategic location on the American continent and its low operating costs make it an exceptionally attractive investment opportunity.
The increasing business investment, the projected growth in tourism, and evidence of a commitment to sustaining the environment, all contribute to the forecast of a rise in living standards and real estate prices. Investing during this initial development phase dramatically increases the possibility of a sizeable return on your investment within a few years.
The state of the market in North America also contributes to the anticipated financial expansion and development boom. The current financial crisis and the slowdown of the American market has brought about much interest in alternative investment locations. Honduras has managed to retain relatively low prices and costs compared to other Caribbean locations and this is spurring interest in the growing tourism industry. Already, there has been increased investment in tourist infrastructure, an increase in the number of airlines and cruise ships serving Honduras and a dramatic increase in the number of tourists choosing Honduras for their vacation. This increase began in 2007 and became progressively stronger in 2008. The projections for 2009-2010 are that this increase will not only continue but will gain momentum as well.
