Paula Bonilla, Director of the Free Tourism Zone of the Bay Islands Department (ZOLITUR), announced an investment exceeding 250 million lempiras to stimulate the comprehensive development of the island municipalities. This financial effort aims to address priority needs in key sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and environmental protection.
Commitment to Educational and Social Development
Among the most prominent projects is the renovation of educational centers in rural communities, aiming to provide safe and adequate learning environments. Bonilla emphasized that these efforts are focused on the well-being of future generations, promoting more inclusive and functional spaces.
Sanitation: The Foundation for Road Modernization
A fundamental pillar of the plan is the sanitation system, which precedes road construction. “We are installing sewage pipelines, a necessary stage before building roads. This has caused some delays, but the municipalities are already working on the surface level,” explained the director.
Institutional Alliances for a Holistic Approach
ZOLITUR maintains close coordination with local authorities to ensure that each project is carried out in a sustainable and comprehensive manner. This collaborative model ensures that projects address not only physical infrastructure but also essential public services for every community.
Key Projects Underway
Ongoing initiatives include road paving, expansion of healthcare systems, and restoration of natural areas—both on land and in marine zones. ZOLITUR’s vision is clear: to build a balanced environment that fosters tourism without compromising local quality of life.
Technical Challenges and Significant Progress
Although some projects require technical adjustments to ensure full operability, overall progress is notable. Bonilla highlighted that each step taken represents meaningful progress toward the structural transformation of the Bay Islands.
A Forward-Looking Vision for Sustainable Growth
With this multimillion-lempira investment, ZOLITUR reaffirms its mission to promote balanced and socially responsible tourism development. The goal: to position the Bay Islands as a model of sustainable growth in Honduras.
