Overview - Sept 29, 2010

Southern Costa Rica continues to make favourable changes while retaining its unique features of beautiful flora and fauna and a friendly relaxed lifestyle. Huge improvements in infrastructure such as roads & airports continue as well as opening up of the telecommunications industry & improvements in 3G cell coverage and Internet facilities. All of this has been spurred on by the new Costa Rican Government (in place since May this year), who continues to invest in the Southern Pacific Coastal zone. Tourism is on the up and the PuraVidaEcolodge project is an exciting a project as ever.

The brand new ultra modern hospital is now open in Cortez, San Buenas Golf Resort is soon to open their first nine holes and more than 90% of the country’s electricity demands are met by the new hydroelectric power system. Tourism is up and according to International Living magazine, Costa Rica ranks in the top 5 property investments for 2010!
