Caturgua

CATURGUA was founded in 1995, with the participation of several visionary entrepreneurs in the area. It started with about 25 members, mainly from the canton of Santa Cruz as an initiative to organize the sector and defend their interests, but it soon expanded its scope to other areas of the province. One of the most important achievements in recent years was the active participation in the commission for the pre-opening of the Daniel Oduber airport in Liberia, a joint committee of public and private sector, led by this Chamber. Later, the Chamber participates and leads the the alliance between Reserva Conchal Hacienda Pinilla and Papagayo Eco-Development to secure the funds required for Delta Airlines to start flying to this airport. This was the beginning of the growth of Guanacaste as a tourist destination and the beginning of many successes for Caturgua and Guanacaste.
