U.S. tour operator Costa Rica Dream Adventures (CRDA) excitedly shared the news today that Costa Rica will welcome residents from anywhere in the United States beginning on November 1. Previously, only residents of certain, approved U.S. states were permitted entry into the Central American country.
For 20 years now, CRDA has been serving the travel industry as one of the U.S.' main tour operators to Costa Rica, providing personalized vacations to individuals, couples, families and groups. The company's U.S. offices are located in Atlanta, Georgia, and its Costa Rican offices are in San Jose, providing 24/7 in-country customer support.
"These are the good news we have been waiting for. Our company has established new vacation protocols that will make travelers feel safe and secure that we will be there for them. Our services start from the moment our customers call until they take their flight back home. We're ready to meet again," said Arthur Salus, CEO of Costa Rica Dream Adventures.
CRDA has established new health and safety protocols amid the pandemic, which align with guidance from the Costa Rican government and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
