Week 8. Garcia, Moises

Costa Rica is now known for their Ecotourism as one of the key activities of the tourism industry. In the early 90’s the country was one of the many developing nations that look to Ecotourism as a way of cashing in on the growing demand for this popular trend of travel. Costa Rica has done rather well since starting the eco-tourism, in comparison to other underdeveloped regions, they rank relatively high in terms of standard living. Costa Rica offers a look at a way of life distinct from the modernized world, while allowing tourists to largely avoid the sad realities of poverty in the third world. I can connect this to my start up because they are pretty similar in that I am trying to clean the streets of gangs in order for the country to grow economically. I want tourist to visit El Salvador on a more frequent basis, and the only way to do this is to make El Salvador a safer place. Not only making it safer, but when you go visit a country, you don’t want to go into a country where all you see is people struggling to eat, that kills tourist’s mood, and on top of that they no longer recommend it to other tourists. El Salvador need to invest in cleaning, and look at Costa Rica as a blue print, not in the ecotourism sector, but how they make Costa Rica an enjoyable third world country to visit. Sooner rather than later using methods like theirs will help on the idea that I have for the country, that will help it economically and also boost the education system in the country.
