Costa Rica's plans appear to directly implicate tourism from the United States. The North American country has tallied more than 2.2 million coronavirus cases with nearly 120,000 deaths, according to the World Health Organization.
Three influential figures in Costa Rica's tourism sector asked the government to set a firm date for reopening the nation's borders to international tourism.
The Costa Rican Tourism Board (ICT) intends to attract local visitors in a first phase to revive the sector before reopening the borders to the entry of foreign tourists.
