Most government offices, schools, and businesses close down for the day. Tourists may also find that public transportation schedules are changed or shortened if running at all.
Labour Day has become a touchpoint for many protests and anti-government demonstrations in Honduras in recent years. Political and social conflict have polarised the country, and Labour Day has been the logical day on which to express this kind of discontent. Trade unions hold big rallies in some major cities of Honduras on 1 May, and there may be labour union led parades and other similar events.
On the domestic side, however, “International Workers Day” may as well be “Family Day”. While many take part in protests, the majority prefers to sit it out and just enjoy quality time with Mum, Dad, children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, extended family, and close friends.
