Costa Rica's New Airport Could Make Some of us Rich

Dear International Living Reader,

Guanacaste in northern Costa Rica is a beautiful region--think of every picture-postcard idea you have about Costa Rica, and you'll find it here. But bad roads and a small airport meant it was hard to get to. Real estate prices and tourist numbers were pretty low--until an airport in Liberia was upgraded to take international flights.

Once international flights began arriving, real estate prices in Guanacaste exploded. Property developers snapped up beachfront and ocean view land. High-end resorts and developments raised the bar, such as Peninsula Papagayo with its Four Seasons hotel. And the tourists keep coming--last year, 20% of Costa Rica's 2 million tourists used Liberia.

What did she find at the end? She’ll tell you all about it below.
