Two tourism projects, one on the beach and another on the mountains, are being built in Chalatenango and Usulután.
The projects have a total investment of $45 million and are being developed by entrepreneur Jose Ramon Barahona from El Salvador along with US investors. They consist of a golf and fishing club in Usulután and a mountain tourism project in Chalatenango which would begin to operate in late 2010 or early 2011.
