The multinational company, InterContinental Hotels Group, plans to open two new resort-type hotels in Guanacaste and the Central Pacific.
The two new hotels will be the first resort-type that InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) will open in Costa Rica. The firm already has 5 hotels, all located in San Jose.
According to Nacion.com, IHG's president in America, Jim Abrahamson, said: "The economic crisis has impacted Guanacaste, but we believe it is a short term phenomenon. The province is a good place, as is the Pacific coast, especially now with the opening of the highway (to Caldera)."
