It is the tourists from the United States, Canada and Europe that have given us this position in Google search engines.
Google is undoubtedly one of the most widely used web search tools in the world and it is here where Costa Rica becomes an amazing destination country for many vacationers looking for a unique tropical adventure.
By the end of 2019, Costa Rica was in 4th place among all the countries of Central America and the Caribbean in searches made by the United States and Canada; and in 3rd place for searches made from Europe.
Globally, Costa Rica is ranked 16th and in the entire region, receiving more than 2,314,888 international visitors only by air, according to data provided by the ITC.
