Instituto Hondureño de Turismo

The Honduran Institute of Tourism (IHT), also presented as Honduras’s Secretariat of Tourism, is the public institution dedicated to supporting and promoting tourism in Honduras. Its work brings together government and private-sector partners to strengthen the country’s tourism industry, improve visitor experiences, and encourage sustainable development. The IHT shares information about Honduras as a destination, highlighting its cultural heritage, natural attractions, cuisine, and diverse travel experiences.

Through its website, the institute provides practical resources and public services, including online procedures, tourism business directories, regulations, laws, and information on tourism incentives. It also publishes visitor and employment statistics, research, traveler profiles, reports, and industry bulletins to inform businesses, policymakers, and the public. News and updates cover initiatives such as destination campaigns, staff training, investment, air connectivity, and tourism events. The IHT also promotes professional development and service quality, and provides access to procurement and transparency information. Based in Tegucigalpa, it serves as a central source of tourism information and a coordinator for efforts to develop and showcase Honduras as a destination.
