Packages to Guatemala Till 2011
Studiosus,
a leading package tour operator in Germany,
Austria and Switzerland, has cancelled all
its packages to Guatemala for 2009 and 2010,
according to reports reaching here from
Guatemala City on Friday.
The Munich-based travel company said in a
statement on its website that the decision
follows a warning from the German government
in March, about repeated killings of bus
travelers in the Caribbean nation.
The company also expressed concern about
rumors of a possible coup in Guatemala.
In an interview with Guatemala newspaper El
Periodico, Gabriel Queche, from the regional
tourism chamber in western department Solola,
said that "there are very few attacks on
tourists, barely any, but most likely we are
suffering because of exaggerations."
Studiosus will redirect passengers to other
countries in Central America or to Mexico.
