Costa Rica Travel News: Costa Rica Tops Tourism Table by:Matthew Barker

The magic of a Costa Rica vacation has been confirmed by a major international survey

of the world's favorite tourism hotspots which has named Costa Rica as among the top Latin America travel destinations.

Costa Rica has been ranked as the number one Latin America vacation destination in a major international survey of the world's favorite tourism hotspots.

The World Economic Forum's yearly travel competitiveness report takes into account a range of factors including natural resources, cultural heritage, the quality of infrastructure, standards of Costa Rica hotels and other services, and the overall regulation of the Costa Rica travel industry.

The report commented on the country's Certification of Sustainable Tourism program, and the country's unparalleled richness in natural resources, World Heritage sites and number of protected conservation areas.Costa Rica Travel News: Costa Rica Tops Tourism Table by:Matthew Barker


Known as the rich coast, the country is unique in the world for its level of environmental protection, with almost 30% of the country's land areas designated as protected areas, either as one of 35 national parks, conservation areas or natural reserves.

The Costa Rica travel industry has played a major role in the country's sustainable development program by helping to establish privately operated lodges and reserves.

Some of the most successful and well known protected areas include the Monteverde Cloud Forest, Manuel Antonio National Park, Tortuguero National Park and the World Heritage Site on the Corcovado peninsula.

The country is known for its variation in natural landscapes which provide a home to the highest concentration of bio-diverse natural life on the planet's surface. Thanks to the country's compact size, even short Costa Rica vacations are able to include visits to several of the country's world-famous natural wonders.

Supporting these strengths with abundant, high quality services such as hotels, car rental firms and high quality transport infrastructure, means that the country has been able to reinforce its position as a leading vacation destination in the Americas, and throughout the world.

This commitment to a sustainable and environmentally neutral tourism industry has been well documented in the past. The UN World Tourism Organization has previously praised the country's Certification of Sustainable Tourism initiative, calling it a model that the rest of the world should follow.
