Honduras

Honduras is located in the heart of Central America. It is a country visited by people from all over the world because of its forests, islands, and beaches by cruisers, aircraft or road, being its main engines the ecotourism, cultural and archaeological tourism. Because it is the country that has the lowest logistics costs in the region, Honduras serves as a distribution platform for the rest of Central America. For marketing purposes, Honduras can be divided into two regions: the north coast, including commercial and industrial capital, San Pedro Sula city; and the central region, where the political capital and largest city is located, Tegucigalpa. Both are major centers of distribution of imported goods. A single distributor or representative is usually enough to cover all of Honduras.
