| Costa Rica
has for years been denounced as a bad place to invest or visit. This is
just not true. It's my favorite country in the region and the people
are nice and realistic. They know tourism and have been at it for years
so the quality of the service in Costa Rica is much higher than in the
other countries of Central America. |

|
| Costa Rica
is exceedingly beautiful with a variety of climatic conditions, and it
is still possible to find good real estate prices in Costa Rica, especially
compared to the prices in Europe and Canada.
If you have your heart set on Costa Rica, then move to Costa Rica. The
weather is great; the beaches lovely. A paradise offering springtime weather
all year round, low cost of living and first world class services. A friendly
place where wealth and social justice were walking together harmoniously
and violent crime was known as a reference to our overcrowded and polluted
cities. |
| Faced with
the spiraling cost of living, oppressive taxes and a slew of government
regulations in the U.S., people of all ages includingbaby boomers and entrepreneurs,
are searching for an affordable place to reside outside of the United States
without sacrificing their current lifestyles. Costa Rica may be the
place they are seeking. Costa Rica seems too good to be true.
The country never experienced the ravages and exploitation visited
upon other countries in Latin America by the Spanish conquistadors.
Instead the country was originally settled by colonists who were forced
to supply the labor themselves. Thus, a sort of egilatarian society developed
with everyone doing their share of the work, and few becoming very rich
or very poor. As a result, today Costa Rica has the largest percentage
of middle class and the most equitable distribution of wealth in
Latin America. |

The
Republic Of Costa Rica
|
| Costa Rica
is a country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north,
Panama to the east and south, the Pacific Ocean to the west and south and
the Caribbean Sea to the east. Among Latin American countries, Costa Rica
ranks 4th in terms of the 2007 Human Development Index. The country is
ranked 5th in the world, and 1st among the Americas, in terms of the 2008
Environmental Performance Index. In 2007 the government of Costa Rica stated
that they want Costa Rica to be the first country to become carbon neutral
by 2021. |
| The GDP of Costa Rica is largely composed of revenue generated within the tourism sector and one source from renowned travel agency Costa Rica Vacations (CRV), stated that through 2013 they have witnessed a steady growth in tourism numbers. A sentiment echoed by ICT - the country's tourism authority/board. |
| Another trending sector of the Costa Rica economy is real estate. Once called the hottest real estate market on the planet, Costa Rica has really developed a name for itself when it comes to offshore real estate investment opportunities. As a result of this increase in attention, more and more viable and sustainable development projects have begun to sprout up around the country. |
| As the #1 country when talking about sustainability, Costa Rica provides a model many countries admire to and the leaders of this tiny Latin American nation have no qualms about standing up and challenging other countries to do the same. Proof in point with Costa Rica's first carbon credit bank opening in 2013. |
| 2014 is being projected as a record year for Costa Rica real estate and if tourism numbers continue their upward trend, this can only bode positive for this emerging and formidable nation throughout its counterparts in Central America. |
