I checked out what he wrote and found this...

The city's growing role as a hub for cocaine trafficking has led to a surge in homicides in recent years....

San Pedro Sula topped the list of violent cities a second time, with an average of more than three homicides a day.

From their website:
Tucked away on the island of Roatan just off Honduras’ coast, “AKR” is a legendary tropical wonderland where lush greenery rustles in breezy sea air. Pristine beaches rim turquoise waters. And wooden bungalows perched above a tranquil lagoon offer guests incredibly scenic views and a sense of perfect disconnection from everyday life back at home.

Honduras is a republic in Central America. It was previously known as Spanish Honduras to differentiate it from British Honduras, which became the modern-day state of Belize.

It was home of several important indigenous cultures, mostly notably the Maya.

Some of Honduras' national holidays include Honduras Independence Day on 15 September and Children's Day or Día del Niño, which is celebrated in homes, schools and churches on 10 September. On this day, children receive presents and have parties similar to Christmas or birthday celebrations. Some neighborhoods have piñatas on the street.
