Travelers to Central and South America are usually welcomed with courtesy and warmth. There is great diversity in the region. You can visit major cosmopolitan cities, ruins of great ancient civilizations, primeval tropical rainforests and breathtaking locales. However, there are important things that you should know before you travel. That is why we have prepared this publication. We wish you an enjoyable and memorable journey. Please note that travel to Mexico and the Caribbean are covered in their own publications. Please refer to the last page of this pamphlet for further details. DEPARTMENT OF STATE PUBLICATION 10407

CURRENT TRAVEL INFORMATION
The Department of State's Consular Information Sheets are available for every country of the world. They describe topics such as unusual entry regulations, the crime and security situation, political disturbances, areas of instability and drug penalties. They also provide addresses and emergency telephone numbers for U.S. embassies and consulates in the subject country. In general, the sheets do not give advice. Instead, they describe conditions so travelers can make informed decisions about their trips.

Road Safety Overseas
Links Road Safety An estimated 1.17 million deaths occur each year worldwide due to road accidents. The majority of these deaths, about 70 percent, occur in developing countries. Sixty-five percent of deaths involve pedestrians and 35 percent of pedestrian deaths are children. Over 10 million people are crippled or injured each year. It is estimated that more than 200 U.S. citizens die each year due to road accidents abroad. The majority of road crash victims (injuries and fatalities) in developing countries are not the motor vehicle occupants, but pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists and non-motor vehicles (NMV) occupants.

Technical Advice for U.S. Exporters BASIC EXPORTING TO CENTRAL AMERICA
October 2001
    by Tamara Underwood
    Trade Information Center, Trade Development
    Is your company already exporting to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina or Chile? Is your firm ready to expand its export markets in Latin America? Don't overlook the quiet yet growing Central American market. U.S. merchandise exports to Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama) have increased substantially in the past five years. U.S. merchandise exports to Central America had an average annual growth rate of 9.3 percent for the five year period from 1996 to 2000. In comparison, U.S. merchandise exports worldwide grew 5.8 percent, 11.1 percent to NAFTA countries, and 3.1 percent to Mercosur countries.
    WHAT IS THE CARIBBEAN BASIN TRADE PARTNERSHIP ACT (CBTPA)?
    The CBTPA, enacted in October 2000, provides eligible countries certain trade benefits similar to those enjoyed by Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It represents a significant step in the 15-year history of the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), which has resulted in better export markets for U.S. goods and services. Through the CBTPA, U.S. merchandise exports and investment should continue to grow. All Central American countries are fully eligible for the new trade benefits under CBTPA. More information about CBTPA and CBI can be found at the Market Access and Compliance website (www.mac.doc.gov).

Iraq, 2003 Click image for larger version. Iraq
Iraq is bordered by Kuwait, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Terrain elevations range from over 10,000 ft. (3,000 meters) above sea level along the border with Iran and Turkey to the sea level marshes in the southeast. Much of the land is desert or wasteland. The mountains in the northeast are an extension of the alpine system that runs eastward from the Balkans into southern Turkey, northern Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, terminating in the Himalayas. Average temperatures range from higher than 120 degrees F (48 degrees C) in July and August to below freezing in January. Most of the rainfall occurs from December through April and averages between 4-7 inches (10 and 18 centimeters) annually. The mountainous region of northern Iraq receives appreciably more precipitation than the central or southern desert region. Formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, Iraq became an independent kingdom in 1932. A "republic" was proclaimed in 1958, but in actuality a series of military strongmen have ruled the country since then, the latest being Saddam Hussein. Territorial disputes with Iran led to an inconclusive and costly eight-year war (1980-1988). In August 1990 Iraq seized Kuwait, but was expelled by US-led, UN coalition forces during January-February 1991. The victors did not occupy Iraq, however, thus allowing the regime to stay in control. Following Kuwait's liberation, the UN Security Council (UNSC) required Iraq to scrap all weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles and to allow UN verification inspections. UN trade sanctions remain in effect due to incomplete Iraqi compliance with relevant UNSC resolutions.

Guatemala

Guatemala, with the largest economy in Central America, is of energy interest because renewed interest in developing hydrocarbon reserves are serving as key to regional energy integration plans for natural gas pipelines and the electricity grid between Mexico and Venezuela. Note: The information in this report was the best available as of March 2001 and can change.
GENERAL BACKGROUND
Alfonso Portillo of the Frente Republicano Guatemalteco In addition to economic concerns, Guatemala faces significant political and social uncertainty, stemming in large part from the country's bloody, 36-year civil war which ended in 1997. Crime has become a major issue, with soaring gun sales and the army called into the street to supplement police protection, and the country continues to face serious problems in the areas of health, education, and security, among others. In mid-October 1999, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Chile signed a framework agreement to liberalize trade between their countries. Guatemala has signed the Mexico-Northern Triangle free-trade agreement with Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras, which went into effect March 15, 2001. Guatemala also received NAFTA parity for clothing exports in October 2000 as part of the Caribbean Basin Initiative. A territorial dispute with Belize continues.
