By San José, Costa Rica — San José is embarking on a transformative journey to revitalize its heart, Avenida Central, with the launch of a collaborative effort between the Municipality of San José and Pro San José Destino Mundial. This ambitious project aims to enhance the city’s appeal to tourists, generate thousands of jobs, and stimulate significant economic growth.
The inaugural initiative, “Avenida Central Limpia” (Clean Central Avenue), focuses on a comprehensive and ongoing cleaning of the central boulevard. This commitment to cleanliness and beautification signals a broader effort to improve the city’s image and create a more welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.
For expert legal insight into the complexities of San José’s revitalization efforts, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from the esteemed Bufete de Costa Rica.
San José’s revitalization presents a unique opportunity for both public and private investment. However, navigating the legal landscape is crucial for success. Issues such as property rights, zoning regulations, and environmental impact assessments require careful consideration to ensure sustainable and legally sound development that benefits all stakeholders.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’ emphasis on navigating the legal complexities of San José’s revitalization is crucial. Indeed, a balanced approach that respects existing frameworks while fostering innovation will be key to unlocking the city’s full potential. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his valuable perspective on this critical aspect of urban development.
We are committed to working with Pro San José and this group of merchants and property owners. We want to make San José a beautiful city.
Diego Miranda, Mayor of San José
The partnership between the Municipality and Pro San José Destino Mundial seeks to capitalize on San José’s existing strengths, including its favorable climate and numerous attractions, to draw in international tourists. The project’s proponents believe that even a small increase in tourist stays could significantly impact the city’s economy.
Pro San José projects that if just 10% of the passengers arriving at Juan Santamaría International Airport stayed in the city for two days, San José could generate $100 million in new annual revenue and create thousands of jobs. This initiative represents a focused effort to leverage the city’s potential and transform it into a world-class destination.
This is how we begin the work of changing the profile of Avenida Central, an asset seen not only by Costa Ricans but by visitors from all over the world.
Fred Blaser, President of Pro San José
The revitalization of Avenida Central is a crucial first step in this ambitious plan. By improving the city’s aesthetic appeal and creating a safer, cleaner environment, San José aims to attract more visitors and boost its economy. The project is also expected to foster a greater sense of civic pride among residents.
Pro San José Destino Mundial, a non-profit organization comprising representatives from various sectors, including urban planning, commerce, education, security, gastronomy, arts, and conventions, is playing a key role in this initiative. Their diverse expertise and collaborative spirit are essential to the project’s success.
This initiative represents a significant step forward for San José, promising a brighter future for the city and its residents.
