Answer 1

5 Places :

Arenal - active volcano , thermal waters, water rafting ..... resorts, hotels and restaurants

Monteverde - Eco tourism, cloud rain forest reserve, sky trek, zip lines and canopy, and coffee tour

Guancaste -  beaches, resorts,golfing, fishing,surfing, 5 star resort hotels, nightlife, restaurants, airport

Limon- Tortugero National Park (turtle nesting site), Indigenous reserve,  beaches, popular port, Caribbean cuisine

San Jose -cosmopolitan capital, museums, shopping, airport,

coffee plantation, architecture, historic buildings, nightlife

3 possible benefits : more jobs, better roads, helps economy

2 negatives : losing land to foreigners and large companies

i also stayed at the marriot los sueños for a few days...but then traveled inland to stay near arenal (to experience hot springs/ best ziplining/ etc)  dont just sit at a resort all week!  also cool was manuel antonio, the park

Answer 4

that sounds more like homework!! anyway...

5 places:

5. Arenal Volcano (hot, but cold...interesting weather)

4. Manuel Antonio (beach)

3. Tamarindo (beach)

4. San José de la Montaña (mountain, cold)

1. Almost any beach!!

Benefits from tourism:

1.Well...number one, is the entrance of money to the country

2.The possibility for people from rural zones to develop their own business and get a way to live.

3. Force the people to learn different languages and gave us a perspective and the opportunity to get to know other cultures.

Negative impact

1. We loose most of the natural areas to built hotels, and stuff like that.

2. The increase of prostitution and use and/or abuse of drugs, as well as underage prostitution at tourism zones.

3. Some, or lots of people who comes here as tourists, then want to buy houses or lands here, and that is no bad thing, but that same people comes and pay lot of money to make their lands (part of the beach) private...but is illegal...so...

To minimize negative impact...well, first the media have to stop selling our country as a drug, kid prostitution, paradise...

The authorities have to be really legal entities...

Answer 5

Coast to coast (10days/9nights)

Initiate your adventure on our Caribbean Coast at the Tortuguero Canals having great opportunities for wildlife spotting (two nights), go white-water rafting on the Sarapiqui River (one night), get thrilled by the canopy ride and relax in soothing hot springs at the base of Arenal Volcano (two nights), top it all with the warmth of a sunny beach in Guanacaste (two nights).
