Rainy Season
and Slow Economy Great For Day Escapes
The rainy season means a slowdown of
business of tourism and the currently world
economic crisis has made the situation even
worse and also the reason for the number of
deals now available for escapes from daily
life.
A number of tour operators have begun an
intensive advertising campaign to attract
nationals to take a break from daily lie and
get out to the volcanos, mountains, parks
and rivers.
One of the benefits of taking advantage of
the offers is not only the low prices, but
also the low occupancy at many of the
hotels, where occupancy can be below 60%
during the rainy season, more now due to the
economy.
For instance, Barceló Playa Tambor if
offering $80 per person, per night in they
all inclusive resort. The normal price is
$107.
Other hotels are offering rooms at almost
half price and include breakfast.
Tour operators are offering one day tours
like the volcán Irazú and río Sarapiquí for
only $55, that includes a visit to the
Cartago ruins, breakfast and a visit to the
Braulio Carrillo rain forest.
Shopping around can net great one day or
half day tours and at great prices,
sometimes at 50% and more off the regular
high season price.
