What is the current departure tax for Roatan for 2008? Last I was there I think it was $32 but just wanted to see if that had changed.
Thanks.

It is still $32, I haven't heard of an increase for 2008 although there will probably be around the chinese new year.

In 2007, I think the amount varied between $32.00 and $33.19 depending on your final destination. If your departing flight from Roatan was a connecting flight, the tax was $33.19. If your departing flight from Roatan took you to your final destination, the tax was $32.00. At least that is how it was explained to me after I made sure I had EXACTLY $32.00, and they wouldn't let me go until I came up with the additional amount (I was flying to Houston, with a connecting flight to Charlotte). I'm sure it all makes sense to some bureaucrat somewhere.
OP
That's odd - what difference would it make to the hondurans where your final destination was so long as you are leaving honduras.. Strange..
Yes but Honduras IS strange
They did not even bother giving me complete change. I gave them $35. They just gave me back one US dollar without saying anything like "Sorry, we don't have smaller change".
They really should accept credit card for the departure tax, or at least have the flight attendants tell people in every incoming flight that there is a departure tax. Some people may really be caught without the cash in US dollars.

I left 12/22 for a final destination flight to Houston, they charged 33.19..so not sure what the difference is....I would say save 35 pp just to be safe.
use closest exact change as possible - even though they have American dollars to give back to you they give you change in their currency knowing that you can only spend it in the gift shop while you wait to board your plane....
