COSTA RICA,
A PROFITABLE DESTINATION FOR MEETING TOURISM Meeting Tourism is an extremely dynamic industry that has shown soaring growth around the world. The World Tourism Organization endorses it, stating that it offers countless benefits to local economies and its accelerated growth encourages competition between countries.
to compete globally in the meeting industry, including participating in specialized tourism fairs, forming partnerships with important national and international organizations, developing a promotional plan for entering this niche, and the hiring of world-class expert advisors, among other aspects.
This kind of tourism breaks out of the seasonality the tourism sector faces, since the biggest boom months for this industry are precisely the low season months in our country.
Our objective is to pave the way and compete with our National Congress and Convention Center as a visible leader in the global meeting tourism industry. The benefits of this national project will permeate the entire territory by providing employment, promoting real estate development, generating productive links and substantially improving the country’s image as a consolidated tourism destination.
In addition, Meeting Tourism requires making pre- and post-meeting tours, attracting tourists whose average daily spending is three times greater than that of travelers who visit Costa Rica for leisure or pleasure; in other words, it attracts tourists who spend more, arrive in the low season, and consume diverse tourist products during their stay. As a result, it has become a catalyst for tourism activity and as a country (public and private sectors), a series of actions have been taken to compete strongly for this important market by complementing the country’s competitive advantages such as its strategic location, favorable climate, social and political stability, and robust tourism offer, among many other virtues. Since 2015, we have been promoting an aggressive strategy
Construction began on the Center this year and it will be inaugurated in 2018. For this reason, Costa Rica represents a profitable destination for the meeting industry and we hope that this important Guide will become an essential consultation tool, providing the information you need for arranging meeting and incentive travel events in our country. Mauricio Ventura AragĂłn Minister of Tourism of Costa Rica 5
Costa Rica enjoys a privileged location on the planet, in the center of the Central American Isthmus between 82° and 86° West longitude and 8° and 12° North latitude. As neighbors, it has Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the southeast; its eastern shore is on Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean is on the west.
Due to its location in the tropical belt of the planet, Costa Rica has an abundance of diverse species and a climate with moderate temperatures year-round. Costa Rica is a tropical country with several climatic zones and a great diversity of microclimates, each with its own characteristics. The country’s annual average temperature ranges from 22° C (71° F) to 27° C (81° F). The sun shines all year round, about 12 hours a day, and there are only two seasons: the dry season (with less rain) from December to May, and the rainy season (with abundant greenery) from May to November. The broad range of tourist attractions and rich biological diversity distributed throughout the territory benefit from a pleasant climate that allows visitors to enjoy many activities year-round. Even though it occupies only 0.03% of the world’s land surface, Costa Rica is home to almost 4% of the world’s species, making it one of the top 20 countries with the highest biodiversity in the world. The country has given 26% of its lands “protected area” status; these areas
include 33 national parks, 8 biological reserves, 61 wildlife refuges, 14 wetlands and some private reserves. Cocos Island National Park, the Guanacaste Conservation Area and the La Amistad Reserve in the Talamanca mountain range have been declared WORLD HERITAGE SITES by UNESCO. Costa Rica is home to more than 10,000 species of plants and trees, 850 species of resident, migratory, endemic and endangered birds, 205 mammal species, more than 35,000 insect species, 160 amphibian species, more than 220 species of reptiles, and over 1000 species of freshwater and salt water fish.

1 EXCELLENT AIR CONNECTIONS
Excellent air connections and frequent flights from Europe and the American continent have helped make Costa Rica a convenient hub in the Central American region. Currently, 24 airlines serve Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), with regular non-stop flights to more than 36 destinations around the world. In addition, Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Guanacaste is serviced by 12 airlines with regular flights to 17 destinations.

Juan Santamaría Airport is the second best on the Central American isthmus, according to the Skytrax ranking (World Airport Awards 2015), in aspects of quality and general passenger experience. In early 2017, The Official Airline Guide of London and FlightStats unveiled their punctuality rankings for the world, with outstanding companies operating in Costa Rica, such as COPA Airlines, Alaska Airlines and Iberia.
