It is good to find out how Costa Rica is not letting the financial crisis get to them and finds different ways to keep their business and economy working regardless the situation. Not only have they been creating a plan to explode de European tourism market but also they have opened import markets that were previously closed due to several undisclosed issues, like tomato imports to the United States and Europe.

 

And it is probably because Costa Rica traditional markets are conformed by products and services that people need no matter what: tomatoes, flowers, bananas and well, Costa Rica tourism is one of the most important destinations in America. As I explained in previous posts, the real estate market in Costa Rica is keeping high number due to renting properties and not so much selling real estate.

 

Guanacaste is still a good place to run a business and the economy of the place has pretty much remain the same. Actually, besides Guanacaste tourism, another great business source of the area is cattle and the most important Costa Rica farms are settled here. Good meat is sold throughout the country and some is even imported to several locations in America due to its high quality.

 

My point with all of these babbling is that Costa Rica economy is completely safe…at the least for the moment, though I don’t really foresee much changes anytime soon and people should just continue with their lifestyle in peace. The country is dealing with the crisis better than bigger counterparts are and that should really help with our peace of mind as Costa Rica citizens.
