San Pedro Sula, Cortes Department, Honduras
🇭🇳 San Pedro Sula is the capital of Cortés Department, Honduras. It is located in the north-west corner of the country in the Sula Valley. It is the nation's primary industrial centre and second largest city after the capital.
Economy In 2013, fifteen years after the effects of Hurricane Mitch, Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Latin America; around San Pedro Sula, banana production has not fully recovered, and "manufacturing has all but dried up". The problems are exacerbated by organised gangs, whose rules prevent residents from safely leaving gang-controlled neighbourhoods such as Chamelecón for jobs in other parts of town.
In 2000, then-Mayor Roberto Larios Silva said "San Pedro Sula is where the economic development of the country is concentrated via the city's industrial, commercial, and financial development". The then-manager of Hotel Copantl attributed its growth in business-related tourism to the apparel manufacturing industry. As of 2011, San Pedro Sula generated two-thirds of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).
