Nicaragua
boasts a growing tourism
industry. At present,
tourism is the nation
's second largest industry.
Starting from 2007,
tourism is expected
to become the largest
industry in the country.
This unprecedented rise
and development led
tourism revenues to
increase by almost 300%
more than during a period
of 10 years. The increase
in the tourism sector
has certainly affected
agriculture, commerce
and finance industries
and the construction
industry. The name of
the country was derived
from the name of the
tribe nahuatl language
of the region of Lago
de Nicaragua shores,
Nicarao. Agua is a Spanish
word which means water
was used because of
the existence of lakes
in the Lago de Nicaragua
(Cocibolca) and Lake
Managua (Xolotlán)
and other bodies of
water in the region.
