Celebrating Costa Rica’s 2024 Destination of the Year Recognition
Costa Rica has been named the 2024 Destination of the Year by Travel & Leisure, underscoring the country’s dedication to sustainability and its deep ties to the land and Indigenous communities. Costa Rica is now recognized as a top-tier destination for discriminating guests, and RE/MAX Blue Ocean on the Nicoya Peninsula is thrilled to be a part of the celebration.
2024 Travel + Leisure Destination of the Year
“We are thrilled to honor Costa Rica as our 2024 Destination of the Year,” said Travel & Leisure Editor-in-Chief Jacqui Gifford. “Costa Rica’s unwavering dedication to sustainable tourism and its breathtaking natural beauty make it a standout destination for travelers seeking unique and eco-conscious experiences in the year ahead.”
Costa Rica has been a forerunner in supporting sustainable travel practices, thanks to its rich eco-tourism tradition. The country has successfully reversed decades of deforestation, today boasting over 50% of its territory covered in pristine rainforest after pioneering the concept of eco-lodges and setting global standards for eco-friendly tourism. Its incredible biodiversity, with 12 different types of habitats and half a million species spread across approximately 20,000 square miles, contributes to its standing as an ecological sanctuary.
The Camino de Costa Rica, a roughly 200-mile trail that traverses the entire country, the region’s renowned coffee beans, and a thriving culinary scene rooted in rich traditions and diversity are all major draws.
TravelandLeisure.com has a thorough guide for individuals who want to see everything Costa Rica has to offer. In addition, the December 2023/January 2024 edition of Travel + Leisure, which features Costa Rica extensively, will be available on newsstands beginning November 17.
