Omoa, a municipality on the Caribbean coast of Honduras, close to the Guatemalan border, was the location of the 5th Birding Festival organized by our parent company HTM - Honduras Turismo & Marketing SA . Omoa's coastal, agricultural, and mountain habitats provided opportunities for great birding to our participants hailing from Costa Rica, Guatemala, and all across Honduras. The Yellow-Headed Parrot was selected as the emblematic bird of the festival. It is classified as an endangered species that has lost almost 90% of it's habitat. Occurring from Mexico to Northern Central America, this region is one of the few areas in Honduras where it can be seen.

HTM - Honduras Turismo & Marketing SA our parent company, provides technical assistance in tourism destination planning and product development. In 2023, the HTM team conducted a tourism potential assessment of coffee farms members of AMUCAFE (the Association of Women in Coffee). The assessment included training for the coffee farmers in tourism development and a set of recommendations to get started. We are very happy to share that we have started incorporating some of the farms in our trip itineraries. This month visiting Finca Mercedes and their Bosque Dorado Bird Sanctuary (a big THANK YOU to Jenny and Otto for their hospitality). The first group of international birders to visit their bird sanctuary, signing the pages of their visitors log and enjoying a delicious meal al fresco!
