In an effort to promote its growing tourism industry, Costa Rica government has adopted a number of policies and incentives designed to support private initiative in tourism industry, tourism related services and resort developments.

c. CARIBBEAN COAST: emerging major tourism destination

Caribbean coast is emerging as a major tourist destination zone for ecotourism enthusiasts and visitors wishing to enjoy all the diversity Costa Rica has to offer. Traditionally, pacific coast has provided much of the tourism activities for Costa Rica, but growing interest in ecotourism, tropical flora & fauna, active sport & fishing tourism, conservation of endangered animals and cultural tourism has made Caribbean coast a major emerging tourist destination as it offers these attractions in abundance.

With the structural change occuring in tourism industry from "Sun & Beach" tourism to "Something more than Sun & Sand", the tourism market demands are increasingly seeking destinations that provide a diversity of opportunities and tourist attractions involving "Natural environment & Culture" as the emerging new markets for enthusiasts of ecotourism, adventure water sports and endangered flora & fauna. Caribbean is one of the major zones in Costa Rica to offer these and including traditional tourist attractions of Sun, Beach & Entertainment. Over the last decade Caribbean coast has slowly & steadily become a major tourism destination and increasing its share of tourism market of Costa Rica.

Caribbean coast enjoys abundance of Sunshine & Rain, making it a year round warm & green area. Out of 10 rain zones in Costa Rica, caribbean coast is the 5 th making it neither the driest or wettest area in the country. Caribbean coast enjoys 1800 hours of Sunshine a year, avg 5 hrs a day. This unique balance of sun & rain weather makes it truly a natures paradise with an incredible amount of diversity in tropical Flora & Fauna to make it a major ecotourism destination.

Government has recognized this growth in tourism on the Caribbean Coast by increasing major public investments in tourism infrastructure involving Cruiseship terminals, City Center, Bus Terminals, Airport and Roads and in the protection of natural environment & endangered life. This growth is evident by the increase in ecotourism visitors to Tortuguero Canal zone, on the northern caribbean coast, making it the number one ecotourist attraction; tremendous increase in cruiseship arrivals, from 3 in 1993 to 76 currently and bookings of 146 arrivals for year 2003 on the Caribbean coast terminals; arrival of international charter flights to the caribbean coast airport of Limon and planned expansion to make it a major international terminal for the country on the Caribbean coast; large public and private investment in commercial, industrial and Tourism related services; and revitalization and beautification projects for City center.
