Costa Rican tour operators at this year’s Expotur trade fair are hoping to open the eyes of visitors with offerings in the biodiverse and unheralded interior regions of the country.
Costa Rica's President Luis Guillermo Solís said that his country’s largest industry – tourism – is key in generating peace around the world, on the eve of the country’s largest tourism trade show.
Costa Rica will host the 30th anniversary of its exposition on tourism – Expotur – in mid-May, with a focus on extreme sports, adventure tours and visitors from emerging markets such as Russia and China. The May 14-16 expo will allow invitees from 37 countries to speak directly with 290 Costa Rican tourism businesses.
Costa Rica's president says a tender is already underway for a private-aviation upgrade at the Quepos airfield near Manuel Antonio, with a new passenger terminal to follow.
