a. Awareness that Guatemala is now a safe place to birdwatch, or as safe as most other Central
American countries.
b. Better highway and secondary road direction signage in both Spanish and
English.
c. Birding lodges must learn to have bird feeding stations maintained year around that guests canview when relaxing or having meals. This is what attracts birdwatcher to places like Costa
Rica and Panama.
d. A core of trained and government approved bird guides for all regions of Guatemala.
e. More advertising both in print and media, including bird fairs.

• Secure safety
• Offer lodges in forested natural areas, several of them where a whole program could
be built up around them. Birdwatching in safe and wild areas, no need to use roads or be out and about. Like Chan Chich in Belize for example, that is a good model.
• Fund a birdfinding guide or internet site, so birders know what species can be found
where.
• Publicize the natural areas available in Guatemala in magazines and through tour companies.
• Helping US, Canadian and European tour companies bring birders to Guatemala
will eventually create a “buzz” which the rest of the birding and nature community
will follow.

The country has some very special species. These need to be
exploited (azure-rumped tanager, horned guan, quetzal, scarletmacaw) to attract birdwatching groups. The local people,guides, and lodge personnel were excellent. Accommodations
and food were good. Guatemala has what it takes to be rankedas a “must see” birdwatching destination. It needs to be betterpromoted. For example many tour companies visit Tikal and theword Guatemala isn’t even mentioned in the description. Most
people think Tikal is in Belize as it is often connected to a Belizetour.

In the past: Security concerns after reading about crimes
committed against tourists. (Although I imagineGuatemala is much safer than these articles made itsound—I know European tourists feel the same way aboutthe United States when they read of a crime committedthere….)
