Javier Paniagua Costa Rica is currently in the eyes of the world. Various media outlets turn their gaze to our country and highlight the beauties of the national territory, including as a mandatory tourist destination as soon as the global pandemic due to COVID-19 passes. This was reflected in recent publications by international media, such was the case of the Good Morning America magazines of the American chain ABC that shared the story of an Ashton family of British origin, who spent 2 weeks creating their own tropical forest in the basement of his house, after the cancellation of his desired trip to Costa Rica due to COVID-19. The news was published on the social platforms of the international media. “The most important thing right now for all of us is to stay home, safe and protecting others. When we can make these amazing trips again we will appreciate them even more,” said Dan Ashton father of the family who intended to travel to Costa Rica. Ashton told ABC that his daughters Florence (8 years old) and Eloise (7 years old) were “understandably devastated”, as they were excited to explore the beauties of flora and fauna of our country. Additionally, the name of our nation also found an echo in the Matador Network digital magazine accompanied by a report on the Osa Peninsula. Several publications were also made in the US version of Condé Nast Traveler, within the framework of the Earth Day celebration where he praised Costa Rica as a “green destination”. Meanwhile, the Canadian World Traveler newspaper produced an extensive report titled “Listening to the sounds of the tropical forest”, which mentioned the Arenal and Rincón de la Vieja volcanoes, biodiversity and Costa Rican fauna. In parallel, publications were also made on Visit Costa Rica, as well as Take an Essential Moment. In the latter, meditation, yoga, waterfalls and beaches tours were presented. “Costa Rica has earned with decades of work a highly respected place in the world as a tourist destination that we must take care of while we plan how to reactivate our tourism sector to get it out of this unprecedented crisis,” said María Amalia Revelo, Minister of Tourism. Echo in Europe The name of the country also came to the European continent, such is the case in Spain, in the digital medium El Mundo, which spread a series of coloring mandalas inspired by animals of the Costa Rican fauna such as the hummingbird, the jaguar, the sloth and the owl . The Instagram account of the medium dedicated to publishing trips Lonely Planet (Spanish version) has dedicated on 2 occasions the section “The Photo of the Day” to Costa Rica, showing destinations of Monteverde and Tortuguero, on April 11 and 20 respectively.
