El Salvador, a destination for coffee, tourists and free trade zones



Beyond challenges related to heavy administration, and natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes, El Salvador is a destination where you can succeed.
The service sector, the industrial sector and Agriculture is at the ore of stakes. The newly created modern state turned to coffee as the main export. Tourism is the fastest-growing sector of the Salvadoran economy.

+ 6 million potential consumers live in El Salvador.  With the adoption of the US dollar as its currency in 2001, El Salvador lost control over monetary policy.
Remittances from Salvadorans living and working in the United States, sent to family members in El Salvador, are a major source of foreign income and offset the substantial trade deficit of $4.12 billion. 


In 2006, El Salvador was the first country to ratify the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement. CAFTA has bolstered exports of processed foods, sugar, and ethanol, and supported investment in the apparel sector, which faced Asian competition with the expiration of the Multi-Fiber Agreement in 2005.
There are a total of 15 free trade zones in El Salvador. 

El Salvador is an exciting destination for tourists. Most North American and European tourists seek out El Salvador's beaches and nightlife. Besides these two attractions, El Salvador's tourism landscape is slightly different from those of other Central American countries.
Because of its geographic size and urbanization there are not many nature-themed tourist destinations such as ecotours or archaeological sites open to the public.
Surfing is a natural tourism sector that has gained popularity in recent years as Salvadoran beaches have become increasingly popular.
The airport serving international flights in El Salvador is Comalapa International Airport.
According to the El Salvadoran newspaper El Diario De Hoy, the top 10 attractions are: the coastal beaches, La Libertad, Ruta Las Flores, Suchitoto, Playa Las Flores in San Miguel, La Palma, Santa Ana (location of the country's highest volcano), Nahuizalco, Apaneca, Juayua, and San Ignacio.
