A wellness destination
On the subject of World Tourism Day, the head of the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT), Gustavo Segura, congratulated those faces of the sector that day by day work to continue positioning Costa Rica as a wellness destination.
The above, he stressed, allows reconnecting with what is important in life, where you can enjoy gastronomy, crafts and multiple outdoor activities. He stressed that in the last 40 years, tourism has gone from being a relatively small activity in the Costa Rican economy to becoming a true economic engine, which forces us to continue to ensure the progress and development of the sector.
