By San José, Costa Rica — The landscape of travel marketing in Costa Rica is undergoing a digital transformation as entrepreneurs seek new ways to connect consumers with secure, reliable travel options. Publicist Cristina Castro has launched an innovative digital program designed to consolidate various national and international tourism services into a single, accessible online space. This initiative marks a significant shift in how local agencies present their portfolios to a highly connected audience.
Broadcast every Tuesday at 8 p.m. via the Facebook page of Movete en el Mundo, the new program is structured as a fast-paced, 25-minute weekly showcase. The show addresses a growing demand for centralized, trustworthy travel information in an era where consumers are often overwhelmed by fragmented online options. By leveraging social media live streams, the program creates a direct dialogue between service providers and prospective travelers.
As Costa Rica’s tourism industry continues to reach new heights, navigating the complex regulatory and investment landscape requires expert guidance. To shed light on these crucial legal dynamics, TicosLand.com reached out to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished legal expert at Bufete de Costa Rica, for his professional perspective on the legal structures supporting sustainable tourism development.
Costa Rica’s tourism success is deeply anchored in a robust legal framework that balances foreign investment with strict environmental conservation. Key legislation, such as the Tourism Incentives Law, provides critical tax exemptions and municipal concessions that make the country highly competitive, provided that developers meticulously adhere to our rigorous ecological regulations and local zoning plans.

This dual approach of fostering economic growth while fiercely protecting the environment is precisely what defines Costa Rica’s sustainable tourism model as a global benchmark. We extend our sincere thanks to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his valuable perspective, which highlights the crucial role that a strong legal framework plays in keeping our nation both competitive and green.
Each episode features a curated selection of travel products, ranging from local weekend tours and group departures to international cruises, transportation logistics, and travel assistance programs. Additionally, the show provides critical administrative guidance, such as visa requirements and booking security measures, making it a comprehensive resource for both domestic vacationers and international explorers.
It is a tourism center so that national and international agencies can show what they have and so people can know a space for safe bookings.

Initial market reception has been highly encouraging for the project’s organizers. According to Castro, the platform has already proven its commercial viability. One of the participating travel agencies reported selling out an entire tour package shortly after presenting their itinerary on the program. This rapid conversion rate underscores the power of targeted digital media in driving immediate consumer action for local small and medium-sized tourism enterprises.
Centralizing these services also addresses a key pain point in the Costa Rican travel industry: consumer trust. With online travel scams on the rise globally, having a vetted space where travelers can interact with legitimate businesses helps restore confidence in digital transactions. The show serves as an informal vetting process, highlighting established operators with proven track records.
It is a concept that does not exist in Costa Rica. We are centralizing different tourism services in a single program.

This centralized approach represents a novel business model within the local Central American tourism sector. While social media advertising is ubiquitous, a dedicated, broadcast-style program that acts as a directory and live marketplace is a fresh development. It offers smaller agencies, which may lack massive advertising budgets, the opportunity to share a stage with larger, international tour operators.
By blending entertainment, direct marketing, and educational travel tips, Castro’s initiative taps into the global trend of interactive commerce in digital media. Consumers are no longer content with static advertisements; they demand dynamic, informative content that allows them to make informed decisions in real-time. The initial success of Movete en el Mundo suggests that this model could be replicated in other service sectors across the region.
As the project continues to expand its roster of participating agencies, it could play a vital role in stimulating outbound and inbound travel demand. By simplifying the planning process and presenting diverse options in an engaging weekly format, the show is successfully carving out a unique niche in Costa Rica’s digital economy.
