LGBT community to boost tourism in Costa Rica

Friday, January 18, 2019


The approval of legislation that permits same-sex marriage in Costa Rica is expected to boost LGBT tourism, and the travel industry is expected to respond positively.

Industry sources say that the LGBT community is not seeking special treatment but it does want respect and understanding.

Emphasis on human rights training is expected to be a priority for staff, who will also require high stanards of service, given that the diverse community usually spends more than heterosexuals.
