Its Official: Real Estate Development is Bad for Tourism!

Well, it's no surprise to us but shocking to hear ICT say it!  The Costa Rica Tourism Board (ICT) at a public meeting in Manuel Antonio last Wednesday said that condo and home building is not tourism development and harms the tourism industry.  That's right folks all these real estate guys are destroying Costa Rica's tourism industry!  Why?  It's simple really: No one wants to travel all the way down to Manuel Antonio to see South Florida style condos.  Or maybe it's all the guys from Ft. Lauderdale running around in Bermuda shorts and polo shirts.

The question now is if the powers that be will move to stop this destructive wave of condo development and deforestation.   Matt
