Far From Tourist Goal
The National Chamber of Tourism
(CANATUR) believes that the goal
of a 6 percent increase in the
arrival of tourists this year is
not likely to be attained.
CANATUR chief executive Alberto
Lopez said that the private
sector considers that the
increase will only be 5 percent.
The Chamber asked the Government
for more support for the sector,
particularly by improving roads
and road signs, two sources of
complain among visitors.
CANATUR also insisted on the
need to pass a general bill on
tourism and the national
marketing plan for the period
2007-2009 in order to grant more
security to the sector.
Last year, Costa Rica received
1.6 million tourists who
represent $1.6 billion.
