Costa Rica Tourism Sector’s Significant Contribution
In recent months the tourism industry has hit the headlines thanks to a series of high profile international
companies announcing their plans to expand or initiate operations in Costa Rica. Foreign company resource investment has increased by 16% in the first trimester of 2011.
Significantly, hotels and restaurant investment in Costa Rica has increased by 4.7%. The Central Bank report said that this is largely due to large corporations identifying an increase in international and national tourism, thanks to the worldwide economic recovery and the implementation of promotional campaigns.
Foreign investment generated by tourism arrivals in Costa Rica generated close to $668 million in the first three months of 2011—a 2% increase compared to the same period of time last year.
