Costa Rica was chosen by the Spanish magazine Viajar as the best "International Sustainable Destination", highlighting the country as a leader in this category, according to the Institute of Tourism.



The Spanish travel magazine recently announced the winning international tourist destinations that stand out for offering accommodation to tourists, without neglecting climate protection regulations, economic, social and environmental needs.


According to the institute, it is the first time that the judges give unanimous recognition. Costa Rica was chosen for being a country that offers responsible tourism in eight biological reserves and for being a destination committed to sustainability.


"The sustainable tourism development model that distinguishes us worldwide allows us to be recognized with this award and commits us to continue working to be the ideal destination to connect with nature, a sustainable sanctuary that offers tourists unique experiences," Ireth Rodríguez, institute PR said.



The institute's statistics show that Spain is one of the main countries whose tourists visit Costa Rica. More than 49,000 Spanish tourists have visited the country this year.


Recently, Travel+Leisure, an international tourism magazine based in New York, USA, shared their list of the best Costa Rican beaches for surfing, snorkeling and wildlife spotting.


In November, the British magazine Wanderlust Travel recognized Costa Rica as the most desired country by tourists.


Records show that during the first half of the year, there have already been over 1.2 million tourists in Costa Rica.


Just last year, over 1.3 million tourists visited Costa Rica.
