According to statistics released recently, tourism overall in Central America has increased over 18% in the last 4 years, mainly due to increases in tourism in Costa Rica and Panama. Factors leading to this increase include more international flights to Costa Rica, including larger sized planes, an increased number of tour operators and new contracts with public relations campaigns in the US and Canada. Travel agency Adventure in Costa Rica spokesperson Modesto Blanco says Costa Rica has indeed seen an increase in travel in recent years, and for good reason.
