International arrivals to
Costa Rica in 2020 by all routes reached the accumulated figure of 1,011,912, which represents almost one-third of the record for 2019 when they exceeded 3 million.
With the return of 20 airlines from Costa Rica’s main tourism markets and the announcement of new routes at the end of the period, December registered the entry of 71,000 tourists by air, almost doubling the visitation registered in November, during which 36,044 were reported, according to data from the
General Directorate of Migration and Foreigners analyzed by the
Costa Rican Tourism Institute.
Despite what
Tourism Minister Gustavo Segura Sancho called an unprecedented year, he added that reaching the number of visitors it did was an achievement of its own. Costa Rica had its air and maritime border open for only seven months of the year with only four-and-a-half months open to all countries of the world.
