OverviewGuatemala has a developing economy, characterized by wide income disparities. Hotels and other tourist facilities in the principal tourist sites are generally good to excellent. A peace accord, signed in 1996, ended a 36-year armed conflict. Violent crime, however, is a serious concern due to endemic poverty, an abundance of weapons, a legacy of societal violence, and dysfunctional law enforcement and judicial systems.Popular DestinationsCity
