The Costa Rica Convention Bureau was founded in July 1998 by a group of professionals representing the tourism industry, and whose vision it was to develop the MICE market in order to increase the number of visitors to our country. New alternatives and projects, such as development of the Costa Rica Convention Center and the establishment of five-star international hotel chains and elegant boutique hotels have spearheaded the initiative to position itself as a growing meeting destination.
When choosing Costa Rica, you can be sure that you can give your clients something to talk about…whether an incentive activity or a conference of senior executives, our expert DMC’s, hotels and attractions have more than two decades of experience in the execution of first-rate events. The country’s cheerful personality and culture is expressed by the colors, textures and scents of the tropics.
As a non-profit organization, the Costa Rica CVB is dedicated to promoting our country as a highly attractive incentive and meetings destination. Our well-recognized members (hotels, destination management companies, PCOs, attractions and suppliers) are top-of-the-line businesses with vast experience and expertise in the management, planning and execution of meetings and incentive programs.
Costa Rica has graduated hundreds of artists in the performing arts, therefore, musical and theatrical presentations can easily be arranged. Also, you can choose from popular bands performing merengue, salsa, and pop music or jazz groups, big bands and even the National Symphonic Orchestra.
