The first week of May 2016, was our first time to assist to the EXPOTUR.
The EXPOTUR has established itself as the largest tourism event in the region. It is a huge sustainable travel mart organized by ACOPROT and with the support of ICT (Costa Rican Institute of Tourism).
EXPOTUR organization is committed to provide changes and innovations that make the event an effective and efficient activity for participants. They are working each year to highlight the innovative services and attractions that complement those already positioned.

The fact that for some companies, like OSA WILD this might be the only opportunity to promote ourselves at an international tourism event is something to be grateful for. EXPOTUR represents primarily 80% of the micro and small enterprises that our country hosts. They actually have an entire sector called Community based tourism, which is what OSA WILD eagerly promotes. We believe that ecotourism in the Osa Peninsula is more effective at improving well-being for local residents, at enhancing their access to key resources and information, and at supporting biodiversity conservation than other locally available economic sectors. As you might already know, our country has emerged as arguably the world`s most iconic ecotourism destination.

We are very glad to have experienced this opportunity, we feel that with this type of events small enterprises have the chance to dream and understand the model of tourism that Costa Rica is promoting. Locally, we know that ecotourism is viewed as the activity contributing most to improvements in the resident’s quality of life in the Osa Peninsula and to increased levels of financial and attitudinal support for parks and environmental conservation.
We just love being part of this!
