The hotel and tourism industry in Costa Rica has announced its special deals that are currently available for local and foreign tourists. In Costa Rica, kids get 2 weeks off from school in July as part of their mid-term vacations and the hotel industry wants to attract as many guests as possible during this period.
Although the recession has modestly affected the Costa Rica hotel and other related tourism services, a variety of special discounts, promotions and bonuses are being offered to the public as a way of encouraging tourism during these difficult times.
Costa Rica hotels throughout the country have posted discounts that range from a 35% to a 65% discount off their regular rates. In addition, some hotels are offering complimentary meals, tours and extra nights for those people who book with them.
A reservations officer at the Doubletree Resort in Puntarenas mentioned that they are still at a 50% occupancy rate. This hotel located in Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast has relied on its creativity to include a series of activities to attract customers. Doubletree Resort in Puntarenas has scheduled from nightly treasure hunts to live music and theme buffets.
The Hotel Barcelo Playa Langosta located in the North Pacific Coast, decided on including a-la-carte meals in their all inclusive packages versus the traditional buffet style meals. Aside from offering extra activities and meals, the both hotels mentioned above have also lowered their rates by as much as USD $25 per person per night.
The above is only a brief example of the variety of promotions and rates offered by all hotels in the country.
