Tourism grows as Sandinista rule draws visitors to Nicaragua
Tourism Minister Herty Lewittes says hostility toward the Sandinistas spurs curiosity and tourism, with 39,900 visitors last year and rising. Europeans and Americans travel to Managua and Montelimar, where a $40 million resort with a casino is planned. The Intercontinental Hotel may expand, and a busy tour package offers about $30 daily for a seven day stay. Visitors include students, professors, and political activists seeking either vacation or political education.

The plan, aided by Franklin County experts, would be backed by the Lake Erie Regional Council of Governments and involve Columbia Transmission Company lines.
