Emva kokunyuka ukusuka kwi-2.06mn ngo-2006 ukuya kwi-2.29mn ngo-2007, ingxelo ilindele ukuba abafikayo banyuke baye kwi-2.51mn ngo-2008 ngaphambi kokuhla ukuya kwi-2.29mn ngo-2009. mn ngo-2010, ekupheleni kwexesha lethu loqikelelo. Uninzi lwabakhenkethi batyelela iCosta Rica ngexesha lexesha eliphezulu (ngoJanuwari-Meyi) kwaye bavela eMelika. Abafikayo besuka kwezona ntengiso zintathu zibalulekileyo zelizwe – e-US, eNicaragua naseKhanada – bande ngokuthe ngcembe ngo-3.5 ukuya ku-2014.
Nangona kunjalo, ukujonga idatha yezokhenketho engaphakathi ngommandla, nangona i-2008 iqhubekile ihambela phezulu eNyakatho Melika naseLatin America, ingxelo iqikelela amanani okufika avela kwimimandla yomibini ukuba anciphise nge-9.45% kunye ne-8.60%, ngokulandelanayo, ngo-2009. Iimarike zemithombo ebalulekileyo ngokwemiqathango yokufika, ngokulandelelana, iPanama, iMexico neSpain.
Ezona zinto ziqhuba ukukhula kolu shishino lukhenketho lwendalo kunye nokhenketho lwezempilo. ICosta Rica ineepaki zesizwe ezingama-32, iindawo ezisibhozo zebhayoloji, iindawo zokugcina amahlathi ezili-13 kunye neendawo zokuhlala zezilwanyana zasendle ezingama-51. Ishishini liqikelelwa ukuba lihlupheke kancinci ngo-2009 ngenxa yokudodobala koqoqosho oluqhubekayo, ngakumbi e-US, kunye nentsholongwane ye-H1N1 (umkhuhlane wehagu), nangona kunjalo kuqikelelwa ukubona utshintsho olukhawulezayo oluqala ngo-2010. Ukwandiswa okuqhubekayo kukaDaniel Oduber Quirós Isikhululo seenqwelomoya samazwe ngamazwe emantla kunye nenani elikhulayo leenqwelomoya eziqeshiweyo ezivela eYurophu zonke zinako ukuqhubela phambili ukukhula kwimarike. Ngaphaya koko, uphuhliso olucwangcisiweyo lwephondo laseCaribbean, lukhangeleka luza kuzisa abakhenkethi abaninzi kweli phondo laseCosta Rican lingaphuhliswanga. Ngokwenene, izibuko lephondo sele lisebenza njengomgca wokugqibela kumdyarho we-Transat Jacques Vabre wamaphenyane ngo-2009 kwaye ugqatso lucwangciselwe ukuphelela apho ngo-2011, 2013 nango-2015 ngokunjalo. Eli zibuko longezwe njengendawo yokutsalela umnxeba ngo-2010 kwiishedyuli ezimbini zodidi oluphezulu lwenqanawa.
Ishishini lezokhenketho laseCosta Rica linegalelo elikhulu kuqoqosho, libalelwa kwi-7.8% ye-GDP ngokuthe ngqo ngo-2008 kwaye phantse i-3% yengqesho iyonke ngo-2006 - 49,000 abantu - ngokutsho kwedatha evela kwiWorld Tourism Organisation (UNWTO). Nangona kunjalo, igalelo loshishino kwi-GDP liqikelelwa ukuba lizakwehla ngokuthe ngcembe, ukusuka kwi-7.1% ngo-2009 ukuya kwi-4.6% kuphela ngo-2014. ). Inkcitho ehlangeneyo karhulumente kuqikelelwa ukuba iza kuhla kancinci ngo-29.7 iye kwi-2008mn, iphinde ibuyele kwi-4mn ngo-2009. . Umthetho, ongekagqithwa kwiNdibano, ucela ukongezwa komrhumo we-US $ 27.9 kuzo zonke iinqwelo-moya, ukuba zithathe indawo yerhafu yehotele ye-30.0%. Ingxenye yengeniso evela kwirhafu, ekulindeleke ukuba ibe ngaphezu kwe-US $ 2011mn ngonyaka, iya kuxhasa imali ethile ye-Instituto Costarricense de Turismo (iBhodi yezoKhenketho yaseCosta Rican, i-ICT), kubandakanywa ukuthengisa, ukukhuthazwa nokucwangciswa. Utshintsho kwirhafu lwenzeka ngenxa yokunyuka kwemali yeekhondomu kunye nezinye iirenti zabucala ezingabandakanywanga phantsi kwesambulo serhafu yehotele. Uphuhliso olutsha lweehotele luyaqhuba kweli lizwe, neenkampani ezinkulu zamazwe ngamazwe eziquka i-Intercontinental Hotels Group, iMarriott Hotels & Resorts kunye neBarceló zakha iihotele kufutshane namalwandle kunye nakumaziko asezidolophini.
