US Economy Pushing More to the Tropics

As the US struggles with band aids and chewing gum to piece together an almost lost economic system, more and more inquiries are coming through to Roatan websites.  Inquiries from persons close to retirement looking at parking some money outside their country and wanting to buy in Paradise before prices rise further.  With more than 13,000 Baby Boomers retiring daily in the US alone, we're getting more and more calls regarding our properties and businesses for sale in the Islands.

Inquiries into businesses is way up over last year, and we're surprised to see many emails talking about early retirement along with requests for information on existing or needed businesses.  Roatan, growing at a pace that's hard to keep up with, is showing just slight indications of slowing down.  Roger Salinas, who owns and operates one of Honduras' largest commercial construction firms says, "We've got more business on Roatan right now than ever!" and adds "we're about a week away from completing our portion of the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship port and have now started the Carnival Cruise Line's new multi-million dollar terminal in Mahogany Bay."  

Despite the economic woes in the States, the tropics are on fire still...  Real Estate is active, tourism is steady and more and more people are relocating than ever before!  For more information on how you can own property in the Bay Islands, contact TJ Lynch, RE/MAX Bay Islands at tj@buyroatan.com or visit our sister site at www.buyroatan.com
