It has a bit of the inexpensive 3rd-world tropical allure mixed with a comparatively stable infrastructure & government/society, far moreso than most other Central American countries. Also they long ago threw their hat in with tourism (including "eco-tourism") as a major income generator, so they haven't overly developed (yet) the beautiful tracts of mountains, rainforest, beaches, etc.

Yeah, Nicaragua's been on my radar lately, have some friends there right now actually. I'm guessing it'll take a number of years for the tourism machine to get rolling there in earnest.
