Americans Expected To Choose Costa Rica For
Their Vacation in 2010
The prediction is that American tourists
will regain confidence in the economy and
begin once again to visit Costa Rica during
the 2010 "high" tourist season, which is
between November and March.
A study by Deloitte shows that 45% of the
2.000 people interviewed would come to Costa
Rica to vacation.
Juan Carlos Ramos, president of the Cámara
Nacional de Turismo (Canatur), said this is
good news for the local tourism sector.
The Deloitte study revelas that 59% take int
account value when seeking out a vacation
spot. Ramos said that Costa Rica is in a
good position to take advantage to attract
more tourist.
During the first nine months of 2009, a
total of 601.830 American tourists chose
Costa Rica, 6.9% lower than for the same
period in 2008, representing almost 41% of
income by the tourism sector.

Costa Rica are from the U.S.
