The Caribbean Coast is home to a wide range of natural, historical, gastronomic and cultural assets; all elements that are included as part of the "Caribbean Destination Plan" to increase tourism.

According to the Institute of Tourism, the plan includes a list of actions that must be carried out by public and private organizations such as municipalities, institutes, tourism chambers and the community among others.

The goal is to achieve a significant increase in tourism on the Limón Province beaches of Limón, Puerto Viejo, Tortuguero, Parismina and Cahuita.

The implementation of the project is estimated to last five years. During that time experts from the institute will provide advice to all the companies and organizations to ensure compliance with the plan.

"The goal of the project is to position the Caribbean as a sustainable, inclusive and innovative destination that offers unforgettable travel experiences to visitors," said William Rodríguez, Minister of Tourism. 

The institute has plans for all five targeted beaches.

Tortuguero Beach is to be promoted as a sustainable, planned and safe destination. To achieve that, training will be given to people who work in tourism companies on topics of protection of natural resources, planned tourism development and improvements in security systems for tourists that include the placement of a closed circuit of surveillance and security cameras. 

Parismina Beach will be developed as a tourist destination with a view of a rural sustainable community, to achieve that actions such as responsible fishing activities, as well as the protection of sea turtles, birds and wildlife in the region will be taken.

  

Limón Port will be promoted as a culturally Caribbean diverse tourist destination, in addition to providing training to the workers of hospitality businesses so that they offer high-quality services to tourists.
