With the disastrous 2009 along with its political turmoil and poor economy behind us, businesses on Roatan are facing thousands of tourists arriving by boat (cruiseship) and planes this season... and they couldn't be happier. As an island that derives 90% of it's income through tourism, Roatan has quickly transformed from a ghost town, to a thriving mecca of well-oiled sun worshipers, prospective property buyers and gleeful vacationers who've come to dive, explore and enjoy everything the Bay Islands have to offer.
We've also noticed an increase in property inquiries which tells us that the real estate market may be turning around. That's good news as developers continue to produce fine gated communities perfect for retirement and affordable Caribbean housing of great quality and value. Remember, Roatan's prices are still about 1/3 of that on similar Caribbean islands and it's a very good time to invest right now!
