José Ureña, the president of the Costa Rica Surf Federation, explains the magnitude of this tournament for Costa Rican business.
Hosting the World Open is the best thing that can happen to a country for surf and for tourist promotion because of the millions of people that will attend the competition,” said the national wave expert.
 His words ring true: the ISA estimates that for every event at least 80 million people follow the event live via Internet, which is something that will boost Costa Rica’s surfing image.
The role that Costa Rican surfers have overseas, also helped the country to bring the event to Costa Rica. |
