The Tourism Institute sponsored an article in the Canadian Pax Nouvelles online magazine to promote Costa Rica as an adventure destination.
According to the institute, the article received 22,000 visits in a month. "This is part of the permanent efforts of the institute's advertising department to keep Costa Rica in the minds of the best prospects in Canada, a country that is our second source market for tourists," the institute said in its statement.
The tourism magazine located in Quebec mentioned in its article that "Costa Rica emphasizes adventures worthy of the greatest dreams." Some of the top tourist spots in the country such as Rincón de la Vieja volcano, "offers an exhilarating hike to its summit, from where the remarkable views of the Nicoya Peninsula are quite a reward," the publication printed.
More magical treasures of Costa Rica promoted as adventure destinations mentioned in the sponsored article were Tenorio Volcano in Guanacaste and Celeste River in Alajuela.
Canada is a market of more than 3 million potential tourists, mainly from cities such as Toronto, Montreal and Calgary, the institute said. From these three cities, four airlines, Air Canada, Air Transat, Sunwing and WestJet offer direct flights to Costa Rica.
According
to statistics from the
institute, Canada is the second
country that generates more
tourists to Costa Rica following
the U.S. In
2019, before the pandemic, over
234,000 Canadian tourists
arrived in the country. During
the first quarter of this year,
from January to March, more than
61,000 Canadians arrived by air. As
of March, Costa Rica had
more than 630,000 tourists
in the country. Last
year, over 1.3 million
tourists arrived in Costa
Rica. In
April, Costa Rica eliminated the
covid pass requirement for
fully-vaccinated people and the
policy insurance requirement for
unvaccinated people, beginning
April 1. Since
then, the government eased the
pandemic health guidelines. The
country will no longer need
tourists to present a negative
covid-19 test, quarantine upon
arrival, be fully vaccinated
against covid-19 or travel
policy insurance. Also, the
online Health Pass was also
disabled.
