The
conference
industry
accounts for
22% of total
tourism
globally. The
institute
noted in its
statement that
conference
attendees have
a high income
and spend
three to four
times more
than regular
tourists. Costa Rica's
participation
in the IBTM
World Fair is
yet another
approach to
increasing
tourism
revenue. Recently,
the
institute's
representatives
attended the
IMEX America
tourist show
that was held
in Las Vegas,
U.S. Tourism is
one of the
most important
economic
sectors in
Costa Rica. As
of July, over
1.7 million
tourists
arrived via
air,
representing a
13.5% increase
over the same
period in
2023. The
country
reported a new
tourism record
reached in
2023, with
more than 2,4
million
travelers. The Tourism
Institute
(ICT) is
the government
agency
responsible
for promoting
tourism in
Costa Rica.
