In Costa Rica, tourism is directly or indirectly related to all economic activities in the country, which makes it the most strategic activity for the reactivation and growth of the national economy.

It is for this reason that the group of businessmen of ‘Turismo Por Costa Rica’, calls on the government and all public institutions such as local governments to manage once and for all a National Tourism Policy (Politica Nacional De Turismo).

This would oblige all these governmental and dependent entities to include the country’s priorities in tourism within their strategic planning and their actions, rendering accounts annually on the advances in this sector.

“Tourism is the largest generator of foreign currency in the country, it is distributed in all social strata and throughout the national geography, with special attention to rural and coastal areas, which have been abandoned or unprotected,” says Bary Roberts, representative of the business group.
