Costa Rica’s Sustainability Provides a ‘Better Quality of Life’ for Tourists and Residents

Within the last decade, Costa Rica has become one of the gold standards for international tourism in terms of sustainability and the environment. The country runs almost entirely on renewable energy and its president, Carlos Alvarado Quesada, has set a goal to achieve zero net emissions by 2050.

In 2018, the country welcomed over 3 million visitors, and, in the first six months of 2019, it saw a 4% increase in arrivals.
