Repeat tourism is a driving force of Costa Rica’s economy.

According to the National Institute of Tourism, 41% of the country’s annual two million guests have crossed the border more than once. An 8.5 visit average was estimated in 2012 alone.

This is an impressive number, proving that Costa Rica’s appeal is enduring. Travelers are returning again and again to the Central Pacific, taking advantage of its stunning properties, exhilarating adventures and coastal fun. This stimulates the economy and helps to stabilize local vendors and services - even when the population declines during the rainy season.

Repeat tourism will sustain Costa Rica for years to come.
