Roatan, known for its stunning natural beauty and paradisiacal beaches, is undergoing a significant transformation. It is not only attracting tourists but is also emerging as a global hub for entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals. At the heart of this evolution is Próspera ZEDE, a startup city redefining business development and transforming the island into a unique destination for business, tourism, and innovation.

Próspera: The Ideal Environment for Entrepreneurs

Próspera is more than just a special economic zone; it is a model city designed to facilitate business growth and promote innovation. Located in Roatan, Honduras, Próspera offers a flexible, transparent, and efficient regulatory environment ideal for those seeking to create and expand businesses. Its digital governance system allows companies to be registered in less than 24 hours and operate at significantly lower costs compared to other locations, with a simplified tax system that eliminates unnecessary administrative burdens.

Próspera's model not only attracts entrepreneurs in the tech and startup sectors but also businesses in tourism, healthcare, education, and other strategic industries.

The e-Governance platform allows entrepreneurs to manage their businesses digitally, saving time and resources. In less than a day, an investor can register their entity and start operations— a process that would take months in other jurisdictions.

Thanks to this low-cost, high-competitiveness environment, Próspera is facilitating the development of new tourism experiences that benefit both visitors and the local community. From water activities like diving and snorkeling to adventure and wellness tourism experiences, the island is expanding its offerings, positioning itself as a comprehensive destination for all types of tourists.

Roatan is consolidating itself as the ideal destination for those seeking high-quality healthcare treatments at affordable prices. Próspera's infrastructure is attracting clinics and hospitals offering innovative and specialized medical services. This growth in the healthcare sector is allowing the island to attract medical tourists seeking everything from cosmetic treatments to more complex procedures, all in a relaxed and accessible setting.
