The InBio’s main headquarters is located in Santo Domingo de Heredia and is one of the most important research centers in Costa Rica and Central America.  The institute has dedicated an important part of its resources to keeping a documented inventory of Costa Rica’s biodiversity as well as other key areas in Central America.

Villa Blanca’s convenient location and protected Los Angeles Cloud Forest Biological Private Reserve provide for an endless amount of flora and fauna to document.  The InBio’s research station was inaugurated last June in the Villa Blanca’s premises and will be accessible to guests who wish to learn about the research being carried out as well as the area’s biodiversity.

The Villa Blanca hotel is part of a “green” hotel firm that supports and promotes sustainable tourism.  Guests at the Villa Blanca will have the opportunity to experience one of the country’s most accessible cloud forests and beautiful locations in the San Ramon area at just 1 hour from San Jose.

The hotel and InBio research station are located on 75 acres of lush vegetation surrounded by protected areas that will ensure guests and researchers an unparalleled experience.  Guided tours include hikes, horseback riding, zip lining and of course a visit to the InBio research station.

With this aggressive strategic action, Enchanting Hotel hopes to penetrate an important market niche of over 20,000 home-based / independent travel sellers in North America with an expected 10% growth within the next five years. Unlike their store-front counterparts, these agents cannot be reached by suppliers through traditional methods.  This event offers suppliers a platform to meet one-on-one with this audience. The 2007 Home-Based Travel Agent Expo drew nearly 2,300 professional home-based / independent travel sellers who represented over $775 MILLION in annual travel bookings.  This enchanting group of Costa Rican Hotels is focused in bringing an important business share from those attractive sales figures.

Home-Based Travel Agent Expo is produced by a company with an impressive portfolio of travel events and publications.  Publications include, Home-Based Travel Agent magazine; Travel Agent magazine, Luxury Travel Advisor.  Among the more than 200 domestic and international travel suppliers exhibit each year, Enchanting Hotels will be the only Costa Rica booth at the Expo, which will yield an important competitive advantage, for those leading Hotels from Costa Rica.
