When exploring the countryside
and beaches of Costa Rica it seems almost
everything is for sale. "Se Vende" real
estate signs abound in Costa Rica all throughout
the Central Pacific, the Caribbean and popular
regions. The Central Pacific is preferred
by visitors looking to buy Costa Rica real
estate due to titles in Jaco and Hermosa.
Transactions in other areas are done through
concessions.
The Caribbean has become a hotspot to purchase
real estate and beachfront transactions
are done on concessions due to lack of titles.
The popular beaches are Puerto Viejo, Punta
Uva, and Playa Manzanillo. The South Pacific
may not be the fastest-growing region in
Costa Rica but its basic infrastructure
has improved in recent years.
The North Pacific is probably the most popular
non-Central Valley region among foreign
visitors. The Papagayo and Conchal - Flamingo
areas feature premium infrastructure.
About Costa Rica
The past two decades have brought extreme
changes in Costa Rica's economically important
industries. Indeed, the country has reduced
its dependence on traditional exports and
initiated search for new sources of foreign
currency. At the end of the 20th century,
tourism's significance as an industry grew
due to a variety of factors.
Tourism has contributed to a rapid generation
of employment. In the past 20 years, tourism
has contributed to 44% of all generated
jobs, with the employment of over 140,000
people, which represents 12% of the country's
labor force. To put that simply, over half
a million Costa Rican's gain their livelihood
from the travel and tourism industry.
Tourism has also led to tremendous economic
growth.
For the past years tourism has been the
country's number one growth industry. Tourism
is the main driving force to attract foreign
investments and business to this country,
accumulating over 1,500 million dollars
gained in zones of relative lesser development,
for the "industry without chimney's", thus
furthering the growth of small businesses,
and triggering other sectors as well.
Costa Rica was the first country in the
world to promote ecological tourism in an
accelerate form. This focus has helped to
influence the conservation of our natural
resources, and the country now has 30% of
its territory under some level of protection.
This spirit of preservation and the desire
to share it, together with the now famous
Tico warmth and hospitality, is clearly
part of our main attraction.
Without doubting, the transcendence and
impact of this activity has on Costa Rica's
quality of life, especially in those societies
close to the points of greater tourist attraction;
and it is also undoubtedly, the medular
function in the promotion and development
of the country, so as to contribute to economic
growth, to understanding of the people,
to peace, and prosperity.
With access to some of the most unspoiled
terrain in Central America, Costa Rica is
the best place to vacation if you are craving
an adventure in the wilderness. Many timeshare
rentals throughout the country are located
close to its nature preserves and natural
wonders, so you'll have comfortable accommodations
to return to after experiencing these breathtaking
sites firsthand. RCI timeshares are among
the most coveted in the country, because
they combine the luxury of an RCI affiliated
resort with the hospitable ambiance of Costa
Rica itself.
