Extreme Sports Attracting
More Tourists To Costa Rica
(InfoWebPress) - The practice of extreme sports in Costa Rica
attracts thousands of tourists every year who seek an additional
dose of adrenaline.
Thanks to the country’s topography and its variety of landscapes,
the opportunities for extreme sports are many: including bungee
dumping, rafting, canopy riding, rappelling, windsurfing, diving,
mountain biking, kayaking and many more. Whether on land, in the
ocean or in the air, visitors can enjoy these outdoor activities all
throughout Costa Rica.
According to Costa Rican Tourism Institute Statistics (ICT), while
North American tourists are more interested in visiting Pacific
coast beaches, Europeans have a preference for extreme sports.
“This is a destination where nature can be enjoyed in comfort, that
is, we as a country have kept a balance between the comfort that
tourists demand and the ruggedness of ecological and adventure
tourism — and that is our strength, which visitors from North
America, Europe and the rest of the world want to come and see,”
said Tourism Minister Carlos Ricardo Benavides. |
