AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Jobs & Trade Zone Stability: Costa Rica’s Legislative Assembly approved a reform for businesses in the Depósito Libre Comercial de Golfito, letting existing operators negotiate direct extensions of up to 10 years with JUDESUR instead of re-entering new bidding. Wildlife Protection: Costa Rica is moving to curb howler monkey electrocutions from power lines after a court ruling held agencies accountable and ordered infrastructure changes in Nosara. Public Beach Access Clash: Garabito police removed barriers at Punta Leona to reopen access to Playa Blanca, triggering confrontations, injuries, and arrests tied to the resort. Immigration Regularization: Costa Rica reactivated a special temporary category for Cubans, plus Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and Colombians, granting legal work for eligible asylum applicants starting Sept. 1, 2026. Tourism & Consumer Alerts: BAC Credomatic began charging a 6% fee for foreign-card payments using dynamic currency conversion unless travelers decline the option; meanwhile, Guanacaste Airport reported a record pet-friendly surge. Culture Spotlight: Costa Rica crowned Mariale Acosta as Miss Universe Costa Rica 2026, with the event broadcast on OPA.
