Nicaragua Launches New Website for North American Travelers
By Brian Major

The Nicaraguan Tourism Board (INTUR) launched a new English-language website offering enhanced tour and travel information. Designed for North American travelers, the revamped site offers detailed data on ecotourism, adventure tourism and cultural attractions in Nicaragua. The website also offers links to hotels and flight schedules, discounted rates, and tour options.

The new site comes as Nicaragua reports recent growth in North American travelers, who represent one-fourth of Nicaragua’s visitors. Arrivals were up 29 percent through April 2011, while American Airlines recently increased its daily roundtrip flights from Miami to Managua from two to three. Nicaragua offers colonial architecture and a natural landscape featuring volcanoes, lakes, rainforests and beaches on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts.
