That figure shows more than 121,000 tourists compared with the 2,350,000 visitors who entered in 2022.
In addition, more than 53,000 visitors set a new record, surpassing the 2,418.000 tourists reported in 2019, the year before the covid-19 pandemic.
The United States continues to
be the leading nationality visiting
Costa Rica. Authorities documented more
than 1,431,000 tourists from the U.S.,
which is equivalent to 58% of the total
number of visitors.
More
than 242,000 Canadian tourists
visited the country, which is over
71,000 more tourists compared to the
171,000 travelers in 2022. Authorities
registered more than 431,000
European tourists. Of these, the
majority came from France (13.4%)
and Germany (13.1%). The
figures demonstrate that the country
regained the tourist industry, which
was one of the most damaged by the
2020 covid pandemic. The
institute has launched many
international advertising campaigns
encouraging tourism to Costa
Rica. This
week, authorities announced that
the country will take part in a
series of adventure tourism fairs,
to boost visitors from the United
States and Canada. ---------------
