Costa Rica will position itself as a key destination for event hotel investment in the United States

The Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) and the Costa Rican Foreign Trade Promotion Agency (PROCOMER) will strengthen Costa Rica's international presence as a high-value hotel investment destination at the ALIS Caribbean Latin American (ALIS CALA) conference, one of the most influential events in the sector, held from April 29 to May 1 in Miami, Florida.

This event brings together representatives from more than 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and is a key opportunity to connect with hotel investment leaders, facilitating tourism investment opportunities and the option of finding strategic partners with whom to establish connections that allow for increased tourism investment that generates jobs and strengthens the economy linked to the Costa Rican tourism sector.

In a global context where tourism investment seeks stability, sustainability, and profitability, Costa Rica emerges as a safe bet, thanks to its recognized development model, its incomparable biodiversity, and its strategic investment policies.

“For the ICT, it is very important to work hand in hand with PROCOMER to manage and promote the country to increase its hotel offering. It is always a good time to take advantage of participating in these valuable hotel investment events to negotiate the arrival of new projects that generate greater investment in the country and create jobs, especially in the areas that need them most in our territory. We are convinced that we can bring good news for the future and continue increasing tourist arrivals with more offerings in the country,” stated Hermes Navarro del Valle, Head of Connectivity and Investment Attraction at the ICT.

Navarro will also participate in the forums “Investment Opportunities in Costa Rica” and “A Spolight on Central America - Investment Opportunities & Challenges.”

For her part, Laura López, General Manager of the Costa Rican Foreign Trade Promotion Agency (PROCOMER), highlighted the importance of being present at this event.  “Costa Rica offers enormous potential for the development of tourism infrastructure projects that generate employment and development in different communities. At ALIS CALA, we continue to generate opportunities to attract foreign direct investment, showcasing our differentiated value proposition based on our legal security, stability, and sustainability. Thanks to the collaboration between institutions, the private sector, and communities, and our constant adaptation to global trends, foreign investment in the tourism sector grew 113% last year, exceeding US$318 million,” commented López. Costa Rica’s presence at ALIS CALA underscores its leadership in sustainable tourism, consolidating its position as a strategic destination for investors seeking solid opportunities in the region.
