Tourism accounts for a large part of El Salvador's economy. El Salvador has many natural attractions including beaches with some of the best surfing breaks on the Pacific Coast. El Salvador offers many lush forests shrouded in cool temperatures with abundant wildlife and scenic mountain-top vistas. El Salvador also has great potential in the field of cultural tourism; with over 2,000 known archaeological sites, mostly of the Maya and Olmec cultures. These sites are of international interest for their easy access and well-preserved remains.

While tourism has become increasingly important to the Salvadoran economy it has experienced periods of boom and bust cycles that are largely attributed to the nation's safety or lack thereof. El Salvador has a high level of violent crime, this level has declined heavily in recent years leading to more foreign investment in tourist infrastructure.

One important feature of tourism in El Salvador is the relative small size of the nation. Almost all tourist attractions are within forty miles from the capital. That being said, a lack of good roads can make forty miles seem a lot longer.
