Today, Nicaragua, the hot new travel destination in Central America, is launching its new U.S. Facebook page with a sweepstakes contest. Three lucky winners will each win a trip for two to this exciting “land of lakes and volcanoes.” The launch of the Facebook page is part of Nicaragua’s new $3 million tourism marketing campaign, which also includes a new Nicaragua Tourism U.S. website. Nicaragua has experienced a steady increase in U.S. travelers over the past couple of years and now is priming for future growth.
