Tourists visit the Seven Altars' freshwater falls and pools, about 5 km nortwest of Livingston, along the shore of Bahia de Amatique in Guatemala, on December 25, 2008. In 2008 incomes from the tourism industry increased barely four percent in comparison with 2007, and this year could be more difficult due to the global economical crisis, according to statistics of Guatemala?s Bank. After exports and family remittances, tourism is the third source of foreign currency in Guatemala. AFP PHOTO/Eitan Abramovich
