Preserving Paradise Sustainability is not a practice in Costa Rica; it is a way of life and embedded deeply in the culture and traditions of the country. Costa Ricans are proud to protect their country’s rich environment, which covers only 0.03 percent of the surface of the globe yet holds 5% percent of the world’s land-based biodiversity and 3.5 percent of its marine life. Costa Rica produces nearly 93 percent of its electricity from renewable resources. A pioneer in sustainability, Costa Rica is a model for sustainable practices around the world, and has a goal to be the first carbon neutral country in the world. The Ecotourist Verdantly green by nature, toucans preen their feathers in treetops and howler monkeys prance from branch to branch. Explore rain and cloud forests, active volcanoes, rivers running through mountains, cascading waterfalls, beaches, and a myriad of wildlife refuges, national parks and biological reserves. Extending less than 200 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, 30% of the country is composed of protected territory. Sustainable Tourism The Certification for Sustainable Tourism Program (CST) is regulated by the Costa Rican National Accreditation Commission. The program consists of 5 levels of sustainable tourism achievement–“5” meaning that the hotel is considered outstanding in terms of sustainability. CST is a product of the Costa Rican Tourism Board and designed to differentiate tourism businesses based on the degree to which they comply with a sustainable model of natural, cultural and social resource management. Apple Vacations is proud to offer a selection of CST recognized hotels. Look for the Sustainable Tourism icon next to the hotel’s description. Amstar DMC Resort Representatives If you booked a beach or city hotel stay, an Apple Vacations Representative* from Amstar DMC will greet you outside the airport, guide you to your hotel transfer and hold desk hours at most hotels.
