Hi Ted, Sorry I have been out of my office since Thursday. You and Dian are 100% right. This festival should have been marketed better in Roatan and the islands. Most of the marketing done was in Spanish. I know they also put some banners around the island two weeks before the event but the wind knocked them down and they were stolen. This is the first festival so it is also a learning experience for the organizers. We have already bombarded them with many suggestions to improve the festival for next year. Take care, Ana Svoboda Executive Director CANATURH-BAY ISLANDS Honduras National Chamber of Tourism-The Bay Islands Chapter Roatan, Honduras, C.A. Tel.
