Essential COSTA RICA: The Nation Brand
What Is Essential Costa Rica?
Essential COSTA RICA is the official nation brand that represents Costa Rica’s global identity, projecting the country’s values, culture, and strengths in tourism, investments, and exports. It embodies Costa Rica’s commitment to excellence, sustainability, and innovation, showcasing the warmth and authenticity of its people.
MonteverdeTravel.com is proud to hold this prestigious certification, further reinforcing our dedication to promoting Costa Rica’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.
Why the Nation Brand is Essential
The Costa Rica Nation Brand is more than just a logo or slogan—it’s a strategic initiative to enhance the country’s international reputation. By positioning itself as a leader in eco-tourism, sustainable business, and cultural richness, Costa Rica strengthens its global presence. The nation brand invites visitors, investors, and partners to experience the true essence of Costa Rica, known for its friendly “Pura Vida” spirit and world-class services.
From Destination Brand to Nation Brand
Costa Rica initially marketed itself as a destination brand, emphasizing its lush biodiversity and happy way of life. However, a comprehensive study conducted in 79 countries revealed the potential for a more extensive positioning beyond tourism.
As a result, Costa Rica collaborated with leading branding experts to create the nation brand, “esencial COSTA RICA,” which was officially established by presidential decree in 2013. This initiative expanded the country’s international visibility through participation in trade fairs, embassies, commercial missions, and global events. The implementation of a strict licensing protocol and the formation of the Inter-Institutional Committee of the Nation Brand further solidified the strategy.
The Two Pillars of Essential Costa Rica
1. Country Positioning
Costa Rica is more than a travel destination; it is a nation that welcomes the world with open arms. Ticos are known for their warmth, charisma, and resilience—values embodied in the everyday greeting, “Pura Vida.” This strong cultural identity enhances Costa Rica’s image as an inviting and authentic country.
2. Country Competitiveness
Despite its small size, Costa Rica has made a significant global impact by ensuring that businesses using the nation brand uphold its core values:
- Excellence: Commitment to high-quality products and services.
- Sustainability: Protection of natural resources and eco-friendly practices.
- Innovation: Advancement in technology, tourism, and business.
- Social Progress: A focus on education, equality, and well-being.
- Costa Rican Rooting: Deep cultural and environmental connections.
