       CENTRAL AMERICA
==============================

As with South America, the
region of central America
poses many pitfalls for the
traveller, and few areas are
what may be termed holiday
destinations. Guatemala,
Honduras, El Salvador,
Costa Rica etc. are all beset
by social and political unrest
making them fairly hazardous
places to contemplate
visiting.
Mexico is the exception in the
area and has a booming tourist
industry both from Europe and
from the States.
