Because of it being famous among backpackers, sustainable tourism in Costa Rica is difficult to implement. The mere volume of people flocking to Costa Rica's beaches is already indicative of the danger that commercialization may bring to the nation's ecosystem.
Right now, actions are being done to preserve whatever Costa Rica still has left. Institutions like hotels and lodges are already finding out ways to do this. One of these lodges is the Lapa Rios Eco Lodge. Find out more about its advocacy here in its official website.
