AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoTourism Boom: Costa Rica keeps stacking wins for travelers, with the ICT reporting 1,390,842 air arrivals from January–May 2026 (+9.4% year over year) and 195,571 in May alone, led by the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, the U.K., Mexico and Spain. Infrastructure Push: To handle demand, the government is accelerating major transport works, including a big legal green light for the San Carlos highway—Route 35’s central segment has Comptroller approval, clearing the way to move ahead with CHEC on nearly 30 km between Sifón de San Ramón and La Abundancia. Weekend Weather Watch: The IMN warns two tropical waves (No. 13 Friday, No. 14 Sunday) could bring heavier afternoon rain and thunderstorms across the Pacific, Central Valley and Northern Zone—plan beach and park time for mornings. Tourism Development Rules: The government scrapped a contested Papagayo building-rights transfer rule, removing “density and coverage compensation” that let developers shift leftover construction allowances between plots. Wellness Retreats: Nosara is set for back-to-back Vedic Meditation events this December (Dec 10–14 retreat; Dec 15–18 learn-to-meditate course). Connectivity: Kölbi is again topping user-experience rankings, highlighting stable everyday performance across Costa Rica.
