Hello dear friends!
Big news from sunny Guanacaste! 2024 has been a groundbreaking year for our beloved province, with a remarkable 16% growth in foreign visitors. That’s right—a record-breaking 1.90 million travelers have touched down at Guanacaste International Airport (LIR), setting a new benchmark for tourism in the region!
The top 3 airlines that flew in to Guanacaste International Airport this past 2024 are United Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Airlines. The top three destinations from where the 1.90 million passengers flew in this past 2024 are Toronto, Los Angeles and Miami.
As proud Costa Ricans and passionate advocates for this breathtaking corner of the world, we couldn’t be more thrilled. These numbers represent not just growth but a testament to Guanacaste’s undeniable allure: its sun-soaked beaches, vibrant culture, lush biodiversity, and of course, the warm hospitality of its people.
This success wouldn’t be possible without the incredible efforts of the entire travel and hospitality industry—our local guides, hotel staff, transportation providers, restaurateurs, and tour operators. You’ve worked tirelessly to make Guanacaste the ultimate tropical vacation destination, offering unforgettable experiences that keep travelers coming back year after year.
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to travelers who’ve chosen Guanacaste for their adventures. Whether you’re relaxing on the golden shores of Playa Conchal, exploring the volcanic wonders of Rincón de la Vieja, or savoring gallo pinto with a view, your presence fuels our vibrant tourism community.
Here’s to celebrating this achievement together—and to welcoming even more visitors in the year ahead!
Warm regards,
The TAM Travel Corporation Team
