If tourism is at record highs then why the need for the CR gov to subsidize the tourism industry?

The CR government manipulates the numbers to attract tourism investment, guess who is their watchdog? Themselves of course they police themselves, 1% transparency results, what they collect in money and what they report as tourists coming in reality way 2 different things, anyways out of the money the government takes in .99 cents they steal and .01 cent gets invested maybe, the greatest Ponzi scheme ever by a government.

Same lies year after year, they count all the Nicas and Colombians as tourists as well as the perpetual tourists and people who leave the country for 3 months and come back get get counted over and over, they inflate the numbers , anyways more money comes in more money to steal and nothing invested as far as infrastructure, Todo pa dentro y nada para fuera de Tico way!
