QCOSTARICA – Almost 70% of international arrivals by air corresponded to North American visitors, followed by Europe with 16.5% and South America with 6.9%.
From a statement issued by the Costa Rican Tourism Board (Instituto Costarricense de Turismo – IT) 2014 was a momentous year for the tourism industry, in which all historical records of the country in tourism were exceeded . h has been analyzed by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT).
For 2014, Costa Rica reported 2,526,817 international arrivals by all ports of entry, a growth of 4.1% compared to the previous year.
The huge challenge with their numbers is all the “Perpetual Tourists” count as 4 “Tourists” each year. I wonder how their numbers would look if they didn’t have that huge number of people.
I just find it odd how most hotel owners I know say their numbers are down. So where are all these people staying??
