Report Description Table of Contents How Large Is the Costa Rica Tourism Market as Higher Visitor Spending, Air Connectivity and Premium Tourism Reshape Growth? – (Updated On: 2nd-Sep-2026) Costa Rica tourism is the visitor-economy activity generated by international overnight travelers purchasing accommodation, food and beverage, local mobility, destination management, tours, attractions, nature and adventure experiences, meetings, wellness and other in-country travel services. For this RD, SMR defines the market around inbound overnight tourism receipts within Costa Rica; domestic tourism, cruise excursionist expenditure, long-term residential spending and international airline revenue retained outside Costa Rica are excluded. SMR's USD 5.54 billion 2025 baseline is closely aligned with the preliminary USD 5.5437 billion in tourism foreign-exchange earnings reported by BCCR through ICT. Demand is increasingly being shaped by the value captured from each trip rather than visitor volume alone. Costa Rica received 2.944 million international tourists in 2025, including 2.689 million by air. Air travelers reported average expenditure of about USD 1,848 per person while the average stay shortened to 10.3 nights. The momentum accelerated in 2026: 1.853 million international air arrivals were recorded during January-July, 7.0% above the comparable 2025 period. This favors hotels, experience operators, restaurants, mobility providers and destination managers that can monetize activity-rich itineraries within a shorter stay. What Are the Key Takeaways from the Costa Rica Tourism Market? By Purpose Leisure, Vacation & Recreation - 71.3% of the 2025 tourist mix; SMR models a 5.2% CAGR in associated tourism spending through 2032 as nature, beach, adventure and wellness remain the core trip anchors. Visiting Friends & Relatives - 10.8% of the tourist mix; modeled 4.9% CAGR, with spending concentrated in local mobility, independent accommodation extensions, food and destination activities. Business & Professional - 10.7% of the tourist mix; modeled 7.4% CAGR, the fastest purpose-based outlook, as meetings, professional travel, incentives and organized group demand broaden the weekday revenue pool. Education & Training - 5.2% of the tourist mix; modeled 6.7% CAGR as field programs, language study, research and conservation-linked travel support longer and more distributed itineraries. Health & Other Personal Travel - 2.1% combined tourist mix, comprising 0.3% health/medical and 1.8% other personal purposes; SMR models a 6.1% CAGR for the combined specialized-personal spending pool. Medical travel alone should not be interpreted as a 2% share. By Source Market North America - 72.49% of 2025 air arrivals; modeled 5.2% demand CAGR. The United States remains the anchor market, while Canada is showing particularly strong 2026 momentum. Europe - 15.61% of 2025 air arrivals; modeled 5.8% CAGR, supported by long-haul nature itineraries and direct connectivity from major European hubs. Latin America & Caribbean - 9.97% of 2025 air arrivals; modeled 6.6% CAGR as regional leisure, business and VFR traffic benefits from shorter travel distances and hub connectivity. Asia-Pacific - 1.78% of 2025 air arrivals; modeled 8.8% CAGR from a small base as Costa Rica gains reach among long-haul nature and premium experiential travelers. Middle East & Africa - 0.16% of 2025 air arrivals; modeled 7.8% CAGR from a very small base, leaving the segment strategically interesting but immaterial to near-term national volume. By Booking Channel Online Booking - 71.0% modeled 2025 revenue share, approximately USD 3.93 billion, with a 6.4% CAGR as travelers increasingly assemble accommodation, mobility and experiences digitally. Offline Booking - 29.0% modeled share, approximately USD 1.61 billion, with a 3.3% CAGR; human itinerary management remains important for complex, luxury, group, incentive and multi-destination travel. Why Is Costa Rica Generating More Tourism Revenue From Shorter Visitor Stays? The most important 2025 signal is the separation between revenue growth and arrival growth. Preliminary BCCR data show tourism foreign-exchange earnings increased 2.0% to USD 5.5437 billion in 2025. Over the same year, total international tourist arrivals increased only 0.8% and air arrivals increased 1.0%. The result is a market in which growth depends increasingly on trip yield, not only on adding more visitors. ICT survey data reinforce that interpretation. Average expenditure among non-resident air travelers increased from USD 1,601.8 in 2024 to USD 1,848.0 in 2025 even as the reported average stay fell from 12.2 to 10.3 nights. An SMR calculation using those reported averages implies expenditure of roughly USD 179 per visitor-night in 2025 versus about USD 131 in 2024, an increase of approximately 36.7%. This calculation should not be interpreted as a room-rate index; it is a simple trip-spend-per-night indicator that captures accommodation, food, transport, activities and other spending together. For operators, this changes the commercial question. Higher-value demand can benefit premium hotels, guided nature products, private transport, restaurants, wellness and paid activities even if itinerary length compresses. The downside is that shorter stays can also signal affordability pressure. If total trip cost rises faster than perceived experience value, travelers may continue visiting Costa Rica but cut secondary destinations or reduce nights. The 2032 growth case therefore depends on maintaining a premium proposition without allowing price to undermine trip duration or repeat intent. What Does the Shift From Leisure Toward Business and Education Travel Mean for Tourism Demand? Leisure remains the dominant reason for travel, accounting for 71.3% of the estimated 2025 international tourist mix. The more decision-relevant finding is the change in composition. ICT estimates leisure fell from 79.9% of tourists in 2024 to 71.3% in 2025, while business and professional travel increased from 5.8% to 10.7% and education and training increased from 2.0% to 5.2%. Because these figures are survey-based estimates of tourists rather than observed revenue shares, they should be used to interpret demand mix, not to allocate national receipts mechanically. A larger business and professional component can support weekday hotel occupancy, meeting rooms, airport transfers, destination-management services, restaurants and organized group experiences. The increase is especially relevant to San José and other urban or airport-linked hospitality assets because corporate and meetings demand is less dependent on beach-season patterns. For destination-management companies, the opportunity is to package professional travel with post-event leisure, nature and wellness extensions that increase spend beyond the meeting itself. Education and training is smaller but strategically useful because field study, language learning, biodiversity research and conservation programs can distribute demand into communities near universities, farms, biological stations and protected areas. Medical travel, by contrast, should remain a niche in this RD: ICT estimates health and medical care accounted for only 0.3% of 2025 tourists. The broader 2.1% category used in SMR modeling combines medical travel with other personal purposes and should not be marketed as a 2.1% medical-tourism share. How Much Does Costa Rica Depend on North American Visitors, and Where Is Diversification Emerging? North America supplied 1.949 million of Costa Rica's 2.689 million international air arrivals in 2025, equal to 72.49% of the air-arrival base. The United States alone contributed 1.595 million air arrivals and Canada 260,347. This concentration is commercially powerful because it supports direct routes, repeat visitation and short-to-medium-haul access, but it also exposes the market to U.S. consumer confidence, airfare, currency effects and airline capacity decisions. The January-July 2026 data suggest both continued U.S. scale and meaningful diversification at the margin. International air arrivals increased 7.0% overall. U.S. arrivals increased 4.3%, Canadian arrivals 25.1%, European arrivals 9.7%, South American arrivals 5.1% and Asia-Pacific arrivals 8.0%, while Central American air arrivals declined 4.6%. Canada therefore stands out as a high-growth large market, while Europe is expanding fast enough to reduce concentration gradually even though it remains far smaller than North America. Announced capacity supports that direction. British Airways plans to increase Costa Rica service from three to five weekly frequencies and shift operations to Heathrow for the October 2026-March 2027 season. Breeze Airways is scheduled to begin twice-weekly Tampa-San José service on 3 October 2026. Air Canada is scheduled to operate Vancouver-Guanacaste twice weekly from 13 December 2026 through 12 April 2027. These routes are forward capacity signals, not yet completed operating history as of this report date. How Are San José and Guanacaste Creating Different Tourism Revenue Pools? Costa Rica's air gateways reveal a two-engine tourism system. In 2025, Juan Santamaría International Airport handled 1.784 million international tourist arrivals, approximately 66.3% of the national air total, while Guanacaste Airport handled 904,762, approximately 33.6%. San José functions as the principal gateway for urban stays, business travel and multi-region circuits; Guanacaste is much more directly exposed to resort, beach, luxury and North American leisure demand. The 2026 trajectory is strengthening Guanacaste's strategic importance. ICT records 698,079 tourist arrivals through Guanacaste Airport during January-July 2026 versus 616,120 in the comparable 2025 period, an increase of roughly 13.3%. Juan Santamaría reached 1.155 million over the same period, growing at a slower pace. This suggests that incremental air demand is currently tilting toward the Pacific resort gateway, where new premium inventory and direct source-market capacity can capture a larger share of visitor spending. For investors, the implication is not that Guanacaste displaces San José. The two gateways monetize different parts of the customer journey. San José remains essential to corporate travel, connecting itineraries and central-country access, while Guanacaste offers stronger exposure to high-value resort economics, destination weddings, branded residences, golf, wellness and multi-generational leisure. Operators that connect the two ecosystems through domestic air, private transfers and packaged multi-stop trips can participate in both pools. Are Protected Areas Becoming Both Costa Rica’s Strongest Tourism Asset and a Capacity Constraint? Costa Rica's protected areas are not simply a branding asset; they function as tourism infrastructure. SINAC recorded 2.971 million visits to state protected wild areas in 2025, up 13.7% from 2024. Non-residents represented 59% of visits. SINAC explicitly links protected-area visitation to the country's tourism offer and to social and economic development in surrounding regions. This creates a commercially valuable ecosystem around park gateways: hotels and lodges, guides, shuttles, restaurants, rental vehicles, adventure operators and local retail can all capture spending tied to the same nature asset. It also creates a capacity-management requirement. Visitor flows are governed through management plans, public-use rules and site-specific tools, and several high-demand parks use advance reservation mechanisms. As visitation rises, operators that can secure access, schedule itineraries intelligently and distribute tourists across alternative sites gain an advantage over businesses that depend on unrestricted peak-period access. The 2032 forecast therefore assumes conservation quality remains part of the product rather than a cost external to it. Overcrowding, degraded visitor experience or poorly managed gateway infrastructure would weaken Costa Rica's premium pricing power. Conversely, effective conservation and visitor management protect the scarcity value that allows the destination to compete on experience quality rather than mass-tourism volume. Why Is Hotel Investment Moving Toward Premium, Branded and Experience-Led Inventory? Accommodation investment remains active despite modest 2025 arrival growth. ICT identified 26 hotel projects for 2025-2026 with an estimated USD 736.7 million of developer investment, 1,453 new rooms and about 3,391 projected jobs. The investment signal matters because the national growth thesis increasingly depends on yield: higher-specification rooms, resorts, residences, wellness, culinary offerings and on-property experiences can lift spending without requiring an equivalent increase in visitor count. The market is also moving toward formats that capture more of the travel wallet. Luxury resorts increasingly combine rooms with villas or residences, dining, spa, golf, beach clubs, private transfers and curated activities. This increases revenue per guest and makes the accommodation itself part of the destination. In parallel, all-inclusive and residential-style products reduce transaction friction for families and longer-stay premium travelers while allowing operators to internalize more food, beverage and activity spend. The near-term pipeline provides concrete examples. Marriott lists a new JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort & Spa, All-Inclusive with an opening scheduled for 10 September 2026. Four Seasons announced ten new Papagayo Suites available to book for stays beginning 17 December 2026. Hilton added bookable one-to-three-bedroom resort residences at Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique in June 2026. These developments point to premiumization and residential-style hospitality rather than simple commodity room additions. How Is Digital Trip Assembly Redistributing Revenue Across Hotels, OTAs, DMCs, Mobility and Experiences? Costa Rica is structurally suited to digital trip assembly because many visitors combine an international flight, multiple accommodation locations, a rental vehicle or private transfer, protected-area reservations and several paid experiences. SMR therefore models online booking at 71.0% of 2025 market revenue, approximately USD 3.93 billion, with a 6.4% CAGR through 2032. This is a proprietary market-model allocation rather than a published ICT market-share statistic. The commercial effect extends beyond where the hotel room is booked. Digital distribution gives large travel platforms an opportunity to cross-sell accommodation, cars, transfers and activities, while direct hotel channels use loyalty, bundled experiences and pre-arrival itinerary planning to retain more spend. Protected-area reservation systems further normalize advance digital planning. The revenue contest is increasingly about who owns the traveler relationship before arrival and who can convert that relationship into additional in-destination purchases. Offline booking remains material at a modeled 29.0% share because Costa Rica is not always a simple point-to-point holiday. Luxury travelers, incentive groups, multigenerational families and visitors combining several regions may value a destination-management company or advisor that coordinates transfers, guides, park access, hotels and contingencies. Offline distribution therefore loses transaction share more slowly in high-complexity itineraries than in simple hotel-only bookings. Which Tourism Regulations and 2026 Tax Rules Matter Most for Operators and Investors? Costa Rica's tourism framework affects business formalization, accommodation supply, sustainability positioning and travel-ticket administration. ICT's Tourism Declaration provides formal recognition for qualifying tourism businesses, while Tourism Contracts under Law No. 6990 can provide incentives for eligible activities such as lodging, receptive travel agencies, vehicle rental and certain rural tourism projects. Non-traditional accommodation and platform intermediation are regulated under Law No. 9742 and Executive Decree No. 43154-H-TUR, which establish registration and operating requirements for qualifying providers and intermediaries. A current 2026 development is the publication of updated implementing regulations for tourism-related ticket taxes. On 15 May 2026, Decrees 45738-MP-TUR and 45739-MP-TUR were published for the administration of 5% taxes on specified international passenger tickets, while Decree 45740-MP-TUR addresses the USD 15 tax on entry by air using a ticket purchased abroad. These 2026 decrees regulate collection, control and administration of existing statutory taxes; they should not be described as newly created tourism taxes in 2026. Sustainability also operates as a commercial signal. ICT's Certification for Sustainable Tourism evaluates management, social and cultural impact, environmental performance and category-specific practices. In a destination whose nature assets support premium positioning, credible sustainability performance can influence tour-operator selection, corporate travel programs and traveler trust. The operational implication is that compliance, conservation and product positioning are increasingly connected rather than separate workstreams. Who Controls the Highest-Value Parts of Costa Rica’s Tourism Customer Journey? Competition remains fragmented because no single company controls the full visitor journey. Airlines control access, hotels monetize nights and on-property spend, OTAs own discovery and transaction traffic, DMCs coordinate complex itineraries, mobility companies connect dispersed destinations and local experience operators monetize the nature and adventure product. Competitive advantage is therefore shifting toward platforms and hospitality groups that can capture multiple stages of the trip without diluting destination quality. Company / Group Costa Rica Positioning Relevant Product Portfolio Marriott International Broad branded exposure across city, luxury resort and all-inclusive demand. Costa Rica Marriott, JW Marriott, W, Westin, Autograph Collection and other brands; new JW Marriott Costa Elena all-inclusive scheduled for September 2026. Hilton Airport, city, resort, luxury and branded-residential participation. Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique plus Hilton-family hotels; bookable resort residences expand short- and extended-stay premium inventory. Hyatt Luxury experiential resort and all-inclusive positioning in Guanacaste. Andaz Peninsula Papagayo rooms, suites, villas, beaches, golf, dining and curated activities; Hyatt Inclusive Collection adds resort formats. Four Seasons Ultra-premium Papagayo resort and residential ecosystem. Resort accommodation, private residences/villas, wellness, golf, gastronomy, meetings and new Papagayo Suites scheduled for stays from December 2026. Nayara Resorts Costa Rican nature-luxury specialist with strong Arenal differentiation. Nayara Gardens, Nayara Springs and Nayara Tented Camp address families, adults-only luxury, wellness, rainforest immersion and multi-generational stays. Booking Holdings / Booking.com Large-scale digital distribution and traveler acquisition. Accommodation discovery and booking with adjacent travel services that can capture transactions before arrival. Expedia Group Digital travel packaging and cross-category distribution. Flights, lodging, packages, car rental and destination activities; competes for a broad share of digital trip assembly. DMC and local operator ecosystem Execution advantage in complex, high-touch and group itineraries. Transfers, tours, private guides, meetings and incentives, customized circuits and destination support; examples include Amstar DMC, TAM Travel, Destinos and Camino Travel. The competitive signal is not simply that global brands are adding rooms. The strongest operators are adding ways to monetize the same guest through residences, dining, wellness, golf, events, private transfers and curated activities. At the same time, local DMCs and experience specialists retain an execution advantage in complex itineraries because Costa Rica's product is geographically dispersed and access to nature assets often requires local coordination. The market therefore rewards both scale in customer acquisition and depth in destination execution. What Could Push the Costa Rica Tourism Market Above or Below the USD 8.06 Billion 2032 Forecast? SMR's base case of USD 8.06 billion by 2032 and a 5.5% CAGR assumes a combination of moderate visitor growth, sustained spending per trip, additional air capacity, premium accommodation investment and continued monetization of experiences. The 2026 air-arrival rebound supports the near-term demand case, but the forecast does not assume that every year will repeat a 7% arrival increase. Forecast Lens What Would Strengthen It What Would Weaken It Visitor yield Higher spend maintained through premium rooms, experiences, wellness and dining. Trip costs rise faster than perceived value, causing shorter stays and lower activity spend. Air access New routes mature, Canada and Europe keep expanding, and Guanacaste capacity broadens. Airfare or capacity constraints reduce long-haul access or create source-market concentration risk. Accommodation USD 700M+ pipeline converts into differentiated, high-value supply. New supply outpaces demand in specific destinations or pushes pricing beyond traveler tolerance. Nature product Protected-area management preserves quality while dispersing demand to additional sites. Overcrowding, access constraints or environmental degradation reduce experience quality. Demand mix Business, education, premium leisure and MICE broaden seasonality and weekday spend. Leisure dependence remains high and non-leisure 2025 mix shifts prove temporary. Digital conversion Hotels, OTAs and DMCs improve pre-arrival cross-sell and itinerary monetization. Distribution costs rise or more spend leaks outside local operators and the Costa Rican economy. The principal downside risk is affordability. Costa Rica can support premium pricing because of biodiversity, protected landscapes, service quality and differentiated hospitality, but premiumization only creates value while travelers believe the experience justifies the total trip cost. The shortening of average stays makes this risk visible. The strongest operators through 2032 will therefore be those that raise spend by improving the itinerary rather than simply increasing the price of the same itinerary. Research Methodology and Market Definition Market definition. SMR treats the Costa Rica Tourism Market as inbound overnight visitor-economy revenue generated within Costa Rica from accommodation, local food and beverage, ground and domestic mobility, destination management, attractions, tours, nature and adventure experiences, meetings, wellness and related travel services. Domestic tourism, cruise excursionist expenditure, long-term residential spending and international airline revenue retained outside Costa Rica are outside the core market definition unless captured indirectly in an operator's in-country service revenue. Market sizing. The USD 5.54 billion 2025 SMR baseline is anchored to BCCR's preliminary USD 5.5437 billion tourism foreign-exchange series reported by ICT, which excludes cruise excursionist spending. The USD 8.06 billion 2032 value is an SMR forecast. The implied CAGR is approximately 5.5% and reconciles mathematically across the seven-year forecast interval. Segment interpretation. Purpose shares are ICT estimates of tourist counts based on non-resident airport surveys and arrival weighting. Source-market shares in this RD are calculated from ICT 2025 international air-arrival counts. They are not published revenue shares. Booking-channel shares and all segment CAGRs are SMR analytical estimates designed for market modeling and should be presented as such wherever republished. Freshness. 2025 annual statistics are supplemented with January-July 2026 arrivals and 2026 investment, airline and regulatory developments available as of 2 September 2026. Announced future routes and hotel openings are identified as scheduled or planned rather than operating capacity.
