Costa Rica has rapidly become a favorite destination for thousands of tourists looking for an unforgettable vacation.

Thanks to the variety of touristic products Costa Rica has to offer, the country is able to compete at the highest level and be considered among the top vacation spots in the world.
In 2007, over 1.9 million tourists chose Costa Rica as their vacation spot due to its variety in nature, infrastructure and warmth of its people. Accommodations vary from the top luxury 5 star resorts to cheap Costa Rica hotels.

Visitors to Costa Rica will find that the country’s diversity is easily accessible by means of land, air or water in a relatively short period of time. Visitors are able to experience the rain forest, cloud forest and dry tropical forest all in one day! Marvel in the beauty of volcanoes, journey through the tree canopy, conquers the white water rapids; witness the awe inspiring nesting of the Atlantic Sea Turtles, walk inside caves and spectacular natural parks and so much more Costa Rica has to offer.

We invite you to Costa Rica and experience nature at its best amongst revitalizing waterfalls, forests and beaches.

These buyers, which include Air Canada, Sky Auction, Orbitz, Travelocity.com, Sun Wing, Air Transat and many other international wholesale travel agents, look to establish relationship with companies such as Hotel PURE with whom they can rely on a steady supply stream of hotel rooms for their clients.

Ken Chua, President of the Company, stated, “We have been planning for this event for Hotel PURE, locating at booth number 88, for the past months because we value the calibers of these attendees. They are decision makers for their respected companies who can negotiate and close on contracts on the spot. Our goal is to negotiate and sign as many buyers as we can during the short 3 day event and supply them with the best selections of Costa Rica hotels possible. We will also look to attract other qualified hotels in the region to join our Hotel PURE franchise network to increase the number of hotels in our portfolio.”

Just got back from Costa Rica and Canopy Adventure at San Jose de la Montana, Heredia Canopy tour!

It was a blast! One of the best thing we’ve done so far! The tour guides Fab and crew were so much fun and really made those who where extremely nervous (a.k.a me!) feel comfortable. If it wasn’t for the introductory speech that Eduardo gave us, I don’t know if I would’ve done the next one!

The zips were so much fun, and after the nervousness settled, I was able to just sit back and enjoy the scenery! It rained off and on but each bout of rain only lasted about 5 mins! So it was actually cooling from the sun. The lunch by office was a fun break in the day and the water was quite cold at first, but very refreshing.

Lunch was a typical casado, a cookie and bag of chips. Saw some cattle and horses, oh and watch out for the huge piles of dung! Our group were all so nice and we exchanged emails for pictures. I highly recommend this tour!

Got some great pictures.

I’m in the process of figuring out shutterfly, but it seems to take FOREVER to download the photos! Soon, I hope to have them on my pc.

Thanks for those who let me know how their zips went! I’m certainally glad I listened to your advice to do it!
