Costa Rica is set to expand to enhance its appeal to international travelers. The Costa Rican Tourism Board (ICT) has outlined two primary goals: improving tourism products and expanding the global promotion of the country’s offerings.
These efforts align perfectly with the eco-luxury experience, making it an ideal time for guests to explore Costa Rica’s top tourist spots.
Key projects for 2025 include launching new Tourist Police offices in Cahuita and Santa Teresa, with the ICT investing approximately ¢700 million to bolster safety and security for visitors, as per The Tico Times.
Additionally, a new dock in La Pavona, located in La Alegría de Pococí, will replace existing facilities, improving access to popular destinations like Tortuguero and Parismina—a major priority for the ICT.
Tourism Minister William Rodriguez highlighted that “significant improvements” are also planned for key sites, including the Tenorio Volcano National Park, the Guayabo National Monument, San Lucas Island, and the Puntarenas Pier, ensuring these areas remain highlights for eco-tourism enthusiasts staying at luxury villas like Villa Firenze.
On the international front, the ICT aims to penetrate new markets, including Scandinavian countries, with plans to secure direct flights from Denmark and Italy.
Additionally, efforts will focus on converting seasonal flights from the United States, Canada, and Latin America into year-round operations, while work continues to establish a direct flight from Argentina.
“We have a solid foundation to strengthen the competitiveness of our sector and continue positioning Costa Rica as a leading destination for sustainability and biodiversity,” said Rodriguez.
Rising Visitor Numbers and Regional Growth
Tourist numbers in Costa Rica are rising, with increasing visitor arrivals and foreign exchange earnings, even during the traditional low season from April to November.
In 2025, upgrades to Liberia Airport in Guanacaste are expected to be completed, enabling more airlines to operate and facilitating easier access for global travelers.
Several new hotels are also slated to open in Guanacaste this year, further expanding accommodation options for those seeking to explore the region’s luxury villa experiences and flora and fauna.
