In 2018, Sarapiquí was accredited as one the first Sustainable Tourism Destinations of Central America and the Caribbean.
This certification was developed under the TourCert company system, which allowed the destination to make deep diagnoses of the present sustainability aspects, determinate priorities and implement improvement plans through criteria based on international standards of quality management and sustainability.
The development of this certification process allowed all actors and interest groups linked to tourism to be integrated into sustainable practices, corporate social responsibility and quality in the provision of services, and also facilitated the creation of the Sustainability Council that manages and ensures the continuous improvement of this certification.
