Gulf Archipelago consists of three major islands such as Roatán, Guanaja, Utila, and more than 60 small islands, with its location at about 50km distanced from the northern coast of Honduras. Fishing is the major source of economy for these islands, while fast-developing tourism in recent years has become one of the major sources of income.
