It feels so wonderful to be writing an article like this after 6 months of sitting, waiting, wishing to hear something about the borders re-opening. We are finally seeing the a return to normalcy we hoped for and are thrilled to be receiving our first international travelers from the USA, Canada, and even Europe! You should have seen the genuine stoke on our employees faces to receive the Hildreth family from Virginia this past week.
Even though Costa Rica tourism board (ICT) expects that within six months of reopening, 30% of the level of international tourism prior to the COVID-19 pandemic will be reached, it’s a step in the right direction.
Currently, tourists from Canada, the European Union (Schengen zone), the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Thailand, South Korea, China, Singapore and Uruguay can enter Costa Rica
Within the United States: New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Michigan, Rhode Island, California (October 1) and Washington D.C., have been authorized.
