Mexican low-cost airline, Volaris, launched new flights between Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and two main U.S. International Airports, Los Angeles (LAX) in Calif. and John F. Kennedy (JFK) in New York.

Volaris is one of many airlines increasing the frequency of their flights to Costa Rica. Recently, the British airline, Tourism Union International, known as TUI, launched more direct flights between the U.K. and Costa Rica.

As of February, the Tourism Institute recorded more than 554,000 tourists visiting the country.

Last year, about 2.3 million tourists visited the country. That is one million more visitors than in 2021.
