Due to the many obstacles IT implementation faces in Guatemala, the primary use by businesses is in utilizing the internets ability to reach across boundaries and into foreign markets. This is why web sites with tourism information are the most plentiful followed by sales of agricultural products.

Most common internet sites:

Tourist information : http://www.tradepoint.org.gt/travelguate.html and http://members.aol.com/guatemala1/html/guatunl.htm

Very few:

Coffee exports: http://www.lucidcafe.com/cafebystate/guateforum.html and http://www.timeforcoffee.com/espanol.htm
Flower exports

I feel that, for now, this is the best Guatemala can expect. Some serious policy changes need to be put in place and be proven effective in regards to IT financing, economic development, and in developing a stable government that works for the good of the people. These changes are secondary to many much more basic needs such as education, health, peace and improvement of current infrastructure.
