Great experiences in Costa Rica ....less

BSOLUTELY BROKE BUT PASSIONATE… THIS IS HOW IT ALL BEGAN.
The crazy adventure of starting our own travel company was only just a dream. We dreamt of being able to offer experiences to travelers’ other travel agencies would not offer, we dreamt of something different and being a tour operator that could truly show all the beauty of Costa Rica and its people.
We discussed the idea over and over and weighed the pros and the cons and eventually, we took the decision to start our own company in November 2008, with no money but with a lot of passion. It is obviously not that easy to start a company with no capital; that is why our first goal was to make a bit of money selling small trips and day excursions to Costa Rican clients. Luckily, relatives and friends started to book our services for hotels, tours and transports
2009: global financial crisis or enthusiasm? The 2008 global financial crisis greatly affected the tourism sector and the consequences of this economic slowdown were highly noticeable in Costa Rica until at least 2010.
2011: a turning point for our company, in many different ways. -We received our first international group of tourists from Mexico. -We took part in our first trade show, CATM (Central America Travel Market), hosted in Panama that year. -We caught the attention of more foreign travel agents who wished to work with us and to offer Costa Rica as a cultural and ecotourism destination.
International trade fairs offered us the opportunity to establish good contacts with foreign travel agents and gave us an invaluable experience, things that we could not have learnt from books. But in 2013, we opted for another method of contact, the one we like to call “knocking on doors”. That year, we went on our first official market research trip to the USA (East Coast).
We knew Costa Rica could be explored and enjoyed by people from all over the world, so, the great dreamers that we are decided to invest in another market research trip in 2016 and this time we decided to head towards Europe. Again, we wanted to visit companies interested in promoting Costa Rica as a cultural destination, as a pioneer in ecotourism and as a paradise for adventure lovers.
2020 have been a year to slow down and look into things our daily operation did not allow us. We reinforce our GWA brand with a new website, create new programs for the clients and work in learn about best practices in sustainable tourism. ....less
