Pacheco To Travel First Class to
the Orient
Between August 11 and 22,
President Abel Pacheco will be
in Taiwan and Japan in a visit
to the Orient.
The visit to Taiwan by the
president is an official one,
while in Japan he will
participate in a meeting of the
Central American residents and
Japanese officials, to discuss
investment in Tourism.
For medical reasons, president
Pacheco will be travelling first
class which meant a partial
countermand to a government
decree that prohibits first
class travel by the head of
state.
TACA airlines continually
provides free passage to the
Costa Rican government but does
not include first class tickets.
President Pacheco got himself
into hot water when it was
discovered that he used tickets
provided by TACA for his
personal trip to Spain last
December. The president admitted
to using tickets provided by
TACA for the San José - Miami -
San José leg of his trip, paying
out of his own pocket the rest
of the way.
