Abstract

New challenges facing the international tourism industry, which are contemplated by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) in its 2002-2012 Strategic Plan, make it necessary to open a debate on development issues in areas with limited tourism activities. In this paper relevant literature on this topic and data from previous studies by the authors in a joint project funded by the two universities are used to implement research instruments for their application to two destinations with low tourist demand in Costa Rica, the Golfito and Limon provinces. The emergent tourism destination analysis and design model presented here provide a framework which may be useful to administrators and planners in their evaluation and decision-making process.
