Country Info Honduras Introduction Honduras General Data Honduras Maps Honduras Culture ... Honduras Time and Date Honduras Culture Back to Top Honduran society is, for the most part, rural and poor. The overall standard of living in the country is one of the lowest in the Western Hemisphere. Foreign as well as domestic assessments of the country have focused on its poverty to the point where this assessment dominates the outlook of the Honduran people. Almost all social indices show Honduras lagging in development. The annual per capita income is low, health services are extremely deficient, infant mortality and child mortality rates are high, and literacy rates and other educational indicators are low. In 1993 the majority of the population in Honduras remained poor, and a high rate of population increase made alleviation of that poverty in the near future unlikely. Honduras's relatively low population density would seem to be a positive factor. An abundance of land, however, has not ensured the availability of land for cultivation. The terrain consists for the most part of mountains with only narrow coastal plains. Much of the arable land is used for export crops and is not available to small farmers. Banana (and some pineapple) agribusinesses predominate in the country's most fertile land in the Caribbean coastal plains. Land available for agriculture has actually decreased since the 1950s, as farmland has been converted to rangeland to support an expanding cattle export industry.

Information History People Business ... Cellphone Honduras Business Culture Honduras Business: Greetings and Courtesies Handshakes are the common greeting among both men and women; handshakes are gentle almost limp and somewhat prolonged, except among Hondurans already involved in and familiar with international business standards. Titles are important, and foreign visitors should call their business counterparts by their title and last name unless requested to do otherwise. Honduras Business: Ethic and Framework When doing business in Honduras, you will often hear the Spanish phrase s i Dios quiere (God willing) when a promise or commitment is made. Because of the difficulties of surviving in such a poor country, most Hondurans are quite fatalistic. They are content with their current place in a business hierarchy because they know they cannot control events. Consequently, they are more likely to keep a low profile in business and avoid "rocking the boat." Opportunities for social mobility are practically nonexistent, and Hondurans make the most they can out of where they are. Do not be surprised if a functionary or official indicates that he will be better be able to assist you if you can help him in some tangible, most often monetary, way.

One of the most advanced civilizations in ancient America, the Maya were known for the monumental architecture of their great cities, with Copan being a prime example. Their densely populated city-states had an ordered class system with defined occupations and trades. Christopher Columbus, on his fourth and last voyage to the New World, landed on Guanaja (one of the Bay Islands) and on the north shore of the mainland in 1502. Spain soon colonized all of Central America, though it had to overcome the fierce opposition of Native American tribes. These included the Lenca, whose great chief Lempira is now a Honduran national hero. Other Europeans also took an interest in Honduras: British pirates were based on the Bay Islands beginning in the 1500s. Great Britain continued to control the islands and the Caribbean coast until 1859, which is why English is widely spoken there today.

The confederation soon broke up, and Honduras became an independent nation in 1838. Thereafter, conflict between conservative and liberal forces kept the country in turmoil, with numerous coups and rebellions. In the 1850s, William Walker, an adventurer from the U.S., tried to take over Central America. Hondurans helped foil his plans and executed him in 1860.

Roatan Lodgings Diving Real Estate ... Home Tales of Honduras From a Frequent Visitor A bit of Honduras culture, this is a completely unedited story sent to me by a friend. I found it lively and fascinating, with maybe a little O.Henry flavor. Hope you do, too. Read it if you dare! J. McMillin, ROL Part One All of this story I am relaying as I saw it and is based on what I saw and heard. The opinions expressed in this story are of the people in this story. Do not flame me for any parts you do not agree with. Now looking around town I was told basically every business was for sale. One common thread was that the people want an exorbitant price and would come down on the price. Now I was really interested in the ex-pat bar. Bob had told me that it was put on the market for fifty thousand American. Well there were no takers and the price steadily dropped until it got to eight thousand. At this point he decided not to sell and stick it out. Basically the thinking is that in two years La Ceiba would be back. Now I was told that Gonzales had gotten out of jail. Top of Page Part Two Not sure of what and I am not the man to ask too many questions. Real nice guy, very easy going. He was telling me that he made friends with a man who lived on Guanaja and could get a sweet deal on a nice house with land. Later that month he had a trip planned to see some relatives in Costa Rica and he kept asking me if I want to live in his house while he was gone. He didn't feel comfortable going and leaving his house unattended. He had to go to some family reunion or something like that. Now he was going by bus to the Pacific coast of CR and he had large bills he hit me up to change a $50 on to smaller bills. Seeing as he was going to Costa Rica I asked him about some cheap places in CR. Now he told me that if I hit the pacific coast I could probably would find some small and cheap towns. He said one town called San Ysido, but I can't find it on a map. As in always sales people would come in to the bar.

Roatan Lodgings Diving Real Estate ... Home Roatan Honduras Fishing Tournament Winners Fishing is an Important Part of Honduras Culture The annual fishing tournament held on Roatan in September, 1999, had two surprise winners. Pictured here are, on the left, Aimee McNab (15 years old) and Christianne Etches (14) with the 159 lb. blue marlin that netted them first prize in several categories, including largest fish caught. The young women are students at Children's Palace Bilingual School in French Harbor, Roatan. Amidst many large and expensive fishing boats, Aime and Christianne set out from French Harbor in a simple 18' boat. They hooked this fellow off West End Point and discovered they had forgotten to bring a gaff with them. Aime removed her sweatshirt and tied it around the fish's bill and she and Christianne managed to pull it onto their boat with their hands. There were many contestants in the 1999 Annual Fishing Tournament, and the second largest fish weighed in at less than 50 lbs. The largest blue marlin caught in one of Roatan's annual tournaments weighed 450 lbs. We're not saying that you will catch something like this one, but fishing charters are easily arranged for visitors to Roatan. You just never know....
