Exploring the travel and tourism news of Costa Rica

Provided by AGP

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Airline Shock: Spirit Airlines abruptly shut down May 2, leaving travelers with canceled flights and a stark reminder that ultra-low-cost models can’t absorb shocks. Trade Tension: Costa Rica faces a hard line from Panama cattle ranchers—“no meat or milk” until a long-running dairy dispute is resolved, even after a WTO ruling favored Costa Rica. Currency Watch: Costa Rica’s strong colón is set to keep running under President Laura Fernández, with the dollar down sharply since 2022—good for importers, tougher for exporters. Digital Marchamo: INS plans to roll out electronic vehicle registration stickers starting the next renewal cycle, with broader use aimed over the following years. Travel Deals: Montego Bay is flagged as a rare Caribbean bargain right now, with average roundtrips around $344. Tourism Calendar: San José’s free Art City Tour (“Chepe bajo la lluvia”) returns May 14 with museum-hopping shuttles.
