The document summarizes tourism development and local benefits in the Cayos Cochinos Marine Protected Area of Honduras. It describes the establishment of the MPA in 1993 by offshore NGOs to protect coral cays and manage economic activities for local people. The area is home to the Garifuna people who are economically disadvantaged and dependent on subsistence fishing. Three cases of tourism development on the cays are discussed - a restaurant and accommodations, another restaurant, and a proposed dive and eco-center. Issues addressed include capacity building, institutional strengthening, marketing, and the effectiveness of partnerships between local and international organizations.
