El turismo no levanta cabeza: Nicaragua sigue sin alcanzar los 1,8 millones de visitantes de 2017
La pésima imagen del país ahuyenta a los turistas de Estados Unidos y Europa, que son los que más gastan en Nicaragua con un promedio de 69.4 y 66.2 dólares por día, respectivamente.
TL;DR
- Nicaragua's tourism sector has not recovered to the 1.8 million visitors recorded in 2017.
- The country's negative image, stemming from the 2018 repression, deters tourists from high-spending markets like the US and Europe.
- Efforts to attract tourists from Asian markets through international fairs have not yet shown desired results.
- The government's tourism institute (Intur) has outlined a 2026 work plan focused on promotion, infrastructure improvements, and business registration.
- South American tourists spend the most per day ($238.5), but have shorter stays compared to North American and European tourists.
- Official projections for 2026 anticipate 1.2 million tourists, still below the 2017 record.
