Overseas tourism, especially from the US has grown significantly in the past few years. Nicaragua is reminiscent of Costa Rica 15 to 20 years ago. It is also 50% cheaper than its neighbor for tourists. This vibrant nation can now promote itself as The New Nicaragua, a distinction that Seaside Mariana will reinforce in all media and investor relations.
The people of Nicaragua are renowned for their hospitality and receptiveness to visitors, based in a strong family oriented society. For the adventurous, the country is a realm of endless possibilities, including canopy tours through the forests, diving and snorkeling along living reefs, surfing and kayaking, exploring volcanoes and crater lakes, hiking mountain trails, or just relaxing on an expanse of beach. The capitol city of Managua possesses a strong urban energy with many of the features expected from a metropolitan area, including expansive shopping and entertainment, a state-of-the-art medical center and international airport.
Most major airlines offer daily service to Nicaragua, including non-stop flights from major U.S. cities. Easily accessible are the cities of Granada and Leon, which offer a more languid and historic experience. Granada is the country’s oldest European-settled city where the architecture reflects the strong Spanish influence. Leon is the Nicaragua’s intellectual center featuring a collection of cultural influences and unmatched in Central America. Smaller towns and villages offer visitors a colorful introduction to a simpler way of life virtually unchanged over the decades.
It’s this simplicity that flavors the New Nicaragua even as it begins to flex its renewed strength of purpose. These things converge in Seaside Mariana, which is inextricably linked to the future of the country. Together, the country and resort have built a platform from which a compelling story can be told. In Nicaragua, the saying goes that every citizen is a poet, and this passion for all things is aptly and fully demonstrated in the country’s raw energy and zest for life.
