Reconnection with the Spanish market
According to Ireth Rodríguez, Head of Promotion of the Costa Rican Tourism Institute, the coordination of the visit of the Planeta Calleja program is part of the work with international press and European public relations team, in charge of identifying strategic opportunities with journalists from high-reach media of the main source markets in Europe, North America and others.
