Jan 26th, 2011 by Kevin
More tourists came to Nicaragua in 2010 than ever before, and the country continues to gain in status as an outstanding place to visit, retire and live. These developments are supported by Nicaragua’s growing economy and increasing international investment in the country.
A few stats:
- 1.01 million foreign visitors came to Nicaragua during 2010, an increase of 8.4 percent over the previous year in which a gain of over 8.6 percent was recorded
- The average stay was 7.3 days, and income generated from tourism was expected to rise nearly 5 percent to $360 million
- Approximately 60 percent of tourists came from Central and South America in 2010, with the remainder from the United States, Canada and Europe.
