| Cur Síos: | The Chorotega region, in the pacific coast, has received strong investments from touristic industry since the 90s. Right now, the impact of residential tourism, the integrity for water sources, and the construction activities on fragile areas are the main concerns from government and population groups. The lack of land use planning, the difficulties on the implementation of a very complex legal framework and the weakness of local authorities are some of the causes. Additionally, the scarce participation of local population in planning and implementation of projects are also important components of the problem. In Costa Rica, the legal frame has been questioned on its effectiveness to guarantee the conservation of natural resources against the impact of tourism industry. The regulations on touristic activities expose several inconsistencies that facilitates the occupation of fragile zones and endanger natural resources. |
