Costa Rica Tourism Industry

Have you ever taken a vacation away from Phil?

I asked the questionwhy there is little tourism to Phil. Some told you I was wrong saying there was only a bit of sightseeing in Phil. Well I can tell you that anyone with that opinion has never been to Hawaii or Mexico or Florida, or Las Vegas! In Hawaii, tourists by the millions! A plane landed every few minutes loaded with tourists. In the tourists outnumber the people Cancun, Mexico! Orlando and Las Vegas are a hive of tourists spending money! I've been fine Phil places where I was the only tourist there! Thailand is flooded as well! Some of you think you have tourism, but it's just a drop in the ocean of what could be! Now, I do not think it's a bad thing for those of us who have discovered paradise, but why so little? Costa Rica is allmost all of its GNP to tourists! The amount of money that the good management of the tourism industry could Phil is just give mind numbing! This resource unregistered huge!

I, on all continents except Antarctica. I know exactly whay you are saying, I agree that we have not taken full advantage of tourism opportunities in the Philippines. I do not think we high as 10% of our potential market share pie. We have the largest number of sandy beaches, rich and beautiful forested mountains and coastal plain, However, we have very little income from tourism. Beaches Caribbean in Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico does not compare to our shores. But tourism is the source of some of these countries. They have one or two who are so proud, and we have thousands of kilometers or miles. With the abundance of palm trees to boot, which only a little or not at all. And this is not Punta del Este, Uruguay, South America as a proud whole itself as a center of activity beach could not be compared even with one of our beaches. There are fine sand, the water is very cold, even when the sun's rays warm pear, fruit of Sea (seafood) is very small compared to the coasts of the Philippines could offer. And Uruguay could boast of visitors from all over South America during the summer. What about the beaches in Europe, the countries I love to go back to each Once I have the opportunity boarding the plane. They have beautiful clean beaches, but it is a beach with palm trees and native houses / cabins that we have here in the Philippines. France and Italy have tourism as the primary source of its gross domestic product. It is true that they have no history and medieval castles, but we have beaches and mountains they love to go. Australia also has beaches, but our love again with sand. Why do you think the majority of owners (under the bed) of Boracay beaches are the Australians? Only Asian countries could be compared with the type of beaches and mountains we have here, and unfortunately, we're late for them a mile off in tourism. Let's be honest, we will examine in constructively. We do not share the type of tourism that we deserve. Our government is not doing enough for us to get this action. Even if we know that many of us are proud of what we have, we have the hospitality we can offer do not give people in other places, we have the ease of communication than others, we smilingest faces on earth, we can not the influx of tourists necessary if our own government says with pride and irresponsible journalists demand that we have new international environment Homegrown terrrorists. Sounds like puppets give voice to new that someone else prepared for them. Remember that safety is a major concern for people who want to travel to places of pleasure.
