Tourism Push: The new ICT tourism chief, Marcos Borges, says he’ll cut decades-old red tape and speed up approvals while keeping sustainability, including backing 24-hour operations at Liberia airport and planning for more international access. Beach Access Clash: Police removed license plates from vehicles near Playa Blanca at Punta Leona, escalating a dispute over whether the road is public or part of private property—now parking and traffic are the new flashpoints.
