Steady Increases in Tourism

Amongst most Americans Nicaragua's image is either negative or non-existant. Slowly Nicaragua is beginning to shed this image and as tourism numbers increase year after year the misconception about Central America's safest country will begin to change. In 2004, 403,217 visitors came to Nicaragua. In 2005 the number increased to 480,132 an increase of 19%. This has been a steady trend over the last few years. Nicaragua's pristene surf beaches with consistent offshore breezes are no longer a secret.

Cruise ships are again docking in the Bay of San Juan Del Sur and there are now flights on Nature Air from Costa Rica, and Delta is offering daily flights from Atlanta direct to Managua. As the access to Nicaragua gets easier more and more tourists will flock to Nicaragua's shores. It is a great time to invest in Nicaragua and reap the benefits of increased tourism in years to come.

Playa Yankee is located about 20 minutes south of San Juan Del Sur along the proposed Pacific Coast Highway. The development at Yankee is in the process of installing a cell phone and internet tower so that all the homes in the development will be able to surf the web and the waves. Yankee has a great surf break and the development provides beach access to Yankee, Escamequita and Las Tablas beaches.
