Costa Rica is one of the most bio diverse countries in the world; The country and its people have a peaceful disposition, and welcome foreigners, which makes for the perfect place to enjoy an unforgettable vacation. It contains about 5% of the world’s species. The lush wild natural environment is easily accessible to the curious visitor from any part of the world. Costa Rica is a safe paradise. Unlike some other countries, Costa Rica provides visitors with a tranquil setting for their stay and enjoys a very stable political climate and strong economic development. It is one of the few countries in the world with no army. Costa Rica offers kind people willing to share their culture, dreamlike landscapes, and a safe country to experience natural wonders. Honeymoon hotels, eco resorts, family hotels, 5 star hotels, Spa & Wellness, islands, Pacific coast, Caribbean coast, it’s all there for you.
Costa Rica is the perfect combination of relaxation, adventure, culture, fine cuisine and wildlife. Visitors find in Costa Rica an adventure paradise set in the most beautiful natural and safe environment. It is also the home of four World Heritage sites certified by UNESCO. It is estimated that 600 beaches surround the entire national territory. The Pacific coast contains major tourism centers and beaches that are favorites among surfers, including Esterillos, Jacó, Hermosa, Boca Barranca, as well as the Pavones Sector and the surroundings of the Marino Ballena National Park, with its famous long left wave.
But there is another side of Costa Rica which I have been part of. As a manufacturer, processor, and distributor of healthy natural foods, I seek to find the world’s best fruits and vegetables to create the healthiest label drinks and foods we can provide consumers. The dedication and commitment by Costa Ricans, to bring its natural proximity to healthy fruits, vegetables, and lifestyle to people in other parts of the world through the form of healthy label ingredients is its other natural wonder.
The country brand “ESSENTIAL Costa Rica” https://www.visitcostarica.com/en, was created for this purpose and operates under 5 basic principles:
EXCELLENCE: Create a product or service, which makes it special and unique. I find that its leaders define excellence through traits such as creativity, talent, and specialization of human resources.
SUSTAINABILITY: A responsibility to meet current needs, without compromising the environmental security of future generations. This balance ensures proper environmental, social, and financial management. This sustainability is key to providing a lifetime benefit to all who come in contact with Costa Rican produced.
INNOVATION: Continual transformation for the sake of improving the service or resource offered to customers. In today’s demanding and changing market, inventing new solutions is not enough; we need to incorporate added value that guarantees that a need is satisfied.
COSTA RICAN ORIGIN: The product or service should be fully developed, patented, and improved within the count
SOCIAL PROGRESS: The employees who work in a company that uses the country brand seal ensure their personal and professional growth, guaranteeing that they will reach their maximum potential and develop all of their abilities while helping the company evolve.
Mr. Karl Marx (his real name), vice president of operations-Southern hemisphere for GLOBETRADENET, says “ I go to Costa Rica when I need the best ingredients for the most healthy products I am developing”. The Marx family has been formulating some of the best natural sweeteners in the world for over two generations. “When I create a flavor, not only do I need the the best banana, watermelon, guavas, mango, papaya, cantaloupe, blackberries, pineapple and coconuts available, but I also need the best of the more obscure flavors from Maracuya (Passion Fruit), Carambola (Star Fruit), Cas or Costa Rican Guava fruit perfect for juicing, Mamon Chino (Rambutan), Delicious & Sweet Guanabana (Soursop), or Pejibaye (Peach Palm Fruit).” That’s a mouthful.
It was in Costa Rica, where I first discovered a “BlueZone” in search of products to promote longevity. Nicoya, Costa Rica is one of the 5 places in the world where people naturally live to be over 100 years old. How is this possible? A number of factors, including diet. There are over 51 counties in the USA which have become BLUE ZONE PROJECT COMMUNITIES and have experienced Double digit drops in obesity, smoking, BMI (body mass index), Millions of dollars of savings in healthcare costs, and measurable drops in employee absenteeism.
