    “At ACOPROT we are pleased to have a meeting with one of the country’s 2 presidential candidates. We discussed issues that concern and worry us such as the impact of taxes on our industry, the budget for the promotion of our country and the enormous amount of paperwork that our small and medium-sized companies encounter when formalizing an enterprise”, said Massi Devoto, president of ACOPROT.

    For Carlos Alvarado, these themes are of utmost relevance. Issues such as the need to improve water and electricity services, connectivity, and the possibilities of land and air access, are very present within his government proposal.

    “I understand the enormous importance of the tourism sector and what its generation of income means for the country. Costa Rica is a leader in this field and we know that we do not take advantage of all the opportunities we have and that is where we should direct our efforts… We have called for a joint effort with those who know the needs the first hand”, Alvarado said.
