The October edition of the Nica Times ran a two page article by the name of Positive Tourism Trends Expected to Continue. Besides discussing the recent policy trends that will help stimulate investment in Nicaragua - like the much awaited Coastal Law - the article looks at how radically tourism is shaping the Nicaraguan economy and how fundamental tourism will be for future Nicaraguan growth. The article ran with a photo of Maria Rivas, director of Nicaragua's Ministry of Tourism, reading a copy of Moon Handbooks: Nicaragua. Might we compliment her on her exceedingly good taste? We are optimistic too.
