Tourism Accessibility: Barceló Hotel Group apologized after an Occidental Papagayo stay in Guanacaste allegedly refused entry to a certified guide dog, leaving a man unable to join a planned birthday trip, and said it will reinforce staff training and protocols. Migration Under U.S. Deal: Costa Rica received a fourth deportation flight under the bilateral migration agreement, bringing 12 adult foreign nationals (from Bolivia, Chile, China, France and Madagascar) to Juan Santamaría, with IOM support for Assisted Voluntary Return. Trade Tensions: President Laura Fernández escalated her dispute with Panama, calling Panama’s agricultural restrictions a “trade blockade” and directing the foreign minister to pursue international action over bans on beef, dairy, meat, and fruits/vegetables. Port Politics: The Comptroller General admitted ICTSI’s appeal over the Puerto Caldera concession, ordering a five-day hearing to review alleged irregularities after ICTSI was excluded. Digital Shift: TikTok has overtaken Instagram as Costa Rica’s second most used app, with 58% adult usage (UCR/CICOM), reshaping how tourism and small businesses market.
