AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Regenerative Tourism Launch: Hotel Belmar is opening “Artista,” 10 car-free regenerative luxury villas in Monteverde’s cloud forest on June 1, aiming to cut energy use by up to 70% with low-impact materials. Security & Justice Oversight: President Laura Fernández says she’ll run weekly Monday meetings with security and justice leaders through a new “Task Force” focused on crime and homicides. Police “Checks” Clarified: The Prosecutor’s Office says police “pasadas” don’t automatically mean a criminal case—after confusion sparked by claims of “29 pasadas” in a Batán shooting. Tech App Shift: TikTok now reaches 58% of Costa Rican adults on mobile, overtaking Instagram at 47%, a big change for how tourism and small businesses market. Diplomacy/Trade: Fernández escalated the long-running trade fight with Panama, calling restrictions a “blockade” and pushing for international action. Travel & Connectivity: Lufthansa will add Frankfurt–San José flights (3 to 5 weekly) for the 2026–27 winter season.
