Real Estate Investor Briefing
Real estate and toursim meet in Nicaragua
October 2006
Greetings from Nicaragua!

Tourism arrivals to Nicaragua have increased dramatically in recent years and are currently growing at 19% annually. Tourism is now contributing more than any other single industry in Nicaragua's $5 billion economy. Current projections indicate that by 2007 there will be more than one million visitors to the country.

This trend bodes well for the real estate investor as real estate market appreciation and growth in visitor numbers are closely correlated.



Tourism and real estate development

Not surprisingly the areas attracting the most tourism, such as San Juan del Sur, the Tola Riviera, Popoyo, Granada and Laguna de Apoyo are also those generating the highest levels of real estate activity. As more visitors explore inland mountain areas, such as Mombacho and Matagalpa, we anticipate real estate dollars and associated development will follow closely behind.

The future of tourism in Nicaragua

In recognition of the importance of inward investment and tourism to Nicaragua, all Presidential candidates in the upcoming election have made efforts to meet with the tourism and investment community by holding open meetings in Managua, Granada and San Juan del Sur over the last few weeks. With the four main political parties closing their electoral campaigns this week, in advance of the general election on 5th November, the outcome is still looking too close to call. All the parties have stressed their commitment to encouraging the strong upward trend in tourism figures and to supporting inward investment in the country.

We look forward to updating you after the election and hope to be able to welcome you to Nicaragua in the near future. Please do not hesitate to contact us with comments and questions.

Best wishes from Nicaragua

Claudia and Sara
