News Costa Rican Involvement In International Tourism Festivals Is Paying Off., May 12, 2008 The promotion of Costa Rica in tourism festivals in different countries throughout Europe has led to more and more Europeans choosing it as their preferred vacation destination. Along with this, the first three months of the year overall have seen 532,000 tourists choose Costa Rica as their destination spot. This figure reflects a 14% increase or 65,000 more tourists, in comparison to the first trimester of the previous year; these numbers represent only those entering the country by plane. Another way to put it is that during January, February, and March of this year, 2,000 more tourists arrived daily, compared to the same months last year. Tourism continues to be a primary source of the country’s revenue, since it comprises almost a quarter of the country’s national exports. http://www.visitcostarica.com/ict/paginas/galeriafotos/todas.asp |
