Costa Rica ’s “Republic” reported on May 5 that in order to reactivate tourism activities after the end of the outbreak, the Costa Rican authorities will launch a wide range of publicity campaigns for domestic tourism and reduce local tourism prices through a series of means. Costa Rica Tourism Bureau will establish strategic alliances with major travel agencies, local industry associations, and financial institutions to work together to promote domestic travel and reduce prices.
The specific plan for promoting the development of domestic tourism will focus on the following eight axes: attract airlines to settle in, promote external investment, promote marine tourism projects, conduct industry training, and promulgate and implement health and safety regulations for all tourism companies.
