The inauguration of the traveling and temporary “Celebration of the Senses” will take place on Friday, October 12th, in the National Museum of Costa Rica, as a reference to the Central American gastronomy.
This exhibition is organized by the Central American Network of Museums (Redcamus).
The Central American cuisine is a real celebration of senses, where colors, flavours, aromas, textures with thousands of years of tradition are mixed together. This cuisine merges what has been developed in the region and what has come from other parts and cultures of the world.
Each country of the isthmus has defined its special regional features in relation to the cuisine but, apart from differences, there are elements that have been shared for centuries that unite us over social, political and economic differences.
Delegates from 22 foreign companies will be able to learn more about products and services from 44 local businesses from the province of Guanacaste, during the third edition of the Guanacaste Market Place tourist convention. This activity will take place from the 7th to the 14th of October, at the Flamingo Beach Resort in Santa Cruz.
The Association of Costa Rican Professionals in Tourism, (ACOPROT), who will be organizing the event, indicated that most of the visitors will be coming from the United States. Businessmen from Germany, Great Britain, Argentina and Mexico will also be participating in the event.
Patricia Duar, executive director of ACOPROT, stated that nine out of the twenty-two foreign companies will be coming here for the first time.
“This will give the local tourism businessmen the possibility of accessing new markets,” commented Duar.
More than 30 foreign companies participated in the convention of 2006. According to information from ACOPROT, 98% of tourists who have visited Guanacaste would recommend it as a tourist destination.
