Tourism Safety

Roatán will receive 50 new police officers, investigators, and a forensic laboratory supported by the Security Ministry and Public Ministry, in response to recent incidents and the island's growth as a major tourism destination.

Honduras National Police denied reports that a bus carrying Salvadoran tourists was attacked by stone-throwing on August 6, saying the vehicle traveled under police escort in the southern region with no incidents reported.

The National Police have intensified operations against public marijuana use in Roatán, arresting 38 people in 72 hours and warning that those caught consuming the drug in public spaces will be detained and investigated.
