Japanese Turism
The government of Japan is very interested in positioning Guatemala as the center of cultura Maya. Many Japanese turists travel to the area every year to get to know the old traditions of the Maya. Japan Airlines and the Japan Association of Travel Agents see a lot of potential in the area. In the last few years, the interest of Japanese turist has increased to explore the many archeological sites of the Mayan culture but many times they prefer to go to Mexico and don’t get to visit other places. Guatemala, because of its cultural riches could become the entry point to Central America because there are many turistic attractives in the area. Guatemala is the prefered turistic place for Japanese turists.
