Executive summary
Fewer Salvadoran tourists
Arrivals of Salvadoran tourists in Guatemala declined during the Easter holidays in 2007. The reason behind this decline was the murder of three Salvadoran deputies, as well as their car driver, in Guatemala several days before. This tragic event inspired fear in Salvadoran citizens who regularly travel to Guatemala during this season. Instead, many of them chose Honduras as their destination, due also to its proximity.
Business tourism strengthens in Guatemala
Growth the tourism industry has been concentrated in the capital city, Guatemala City, and in the city, La Antigua Guatemala. Higher occupancy rates in these areas are a result of an increasing flow of business tourists. Ten of the twelve 5-star hotels in the country are also located in the capital.
Guatemala hosts the Olympic International Committee's 119th assembly

Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, Roh Moo-Hyun, president of Korea, and Alfred Gusenbauer, federal chancellor of Austria, all went to Guatemala to promote their respective countries' bids to host the Winter Olympic Games in 2014.
