1 POST EVENT REPORT

2 Venue - Costa Rica Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world; it contains about 5% of the world s species. The lush wild natural environment can be experienced all throughout the country and is easily accessible to the curious visitor. Costa Rica is a safe paradise. Unlike other countries, Costa Rica enjoys a very stable political climate and economic development, providing visitors with a tranquil setting for their stay. It is one of the few countries in the world with no army. The country and its people have a peaceful disposition, which makes for the perfect place to enjoy an unforgettable vacation. Costa Rica offers dreamlike landscapes, kind people willing to share their culture and a safe country to experience natural wonders. Costa Rica provides the perfect combination of relaxation, adventure, culture, fine cuisine and wildlife. Visitors find in Costa Rica an adventure paradise set in the most beautiful natural and safe environment. It is also the home of four World Heritage sites certified by UNESCO. Essential Costa Rica is about promoting organic ingredients, unspoiled nature and authentic experiences. It is one of the world s most unique places. In support of these efforts, the Costa Rica Institute of Tourism (ICT) has developed a Sustainable Tourism Certification (CST) program for those companies that place an extra effort on offering, through their everyday activities, a conscious approach towards preserving the environment and the local community. Sustainability is not a practice in Costa Rica; it is a way of life. With a goal to be the first carbon neutral country in the world by 2021, sustainable practices are observed in every region of the country, across all industries, adopted by all citizens and embraced by visitors. From local Costa Rican cuisine to artisan crafts to traditional customs and celebrations, sustainability is embedded deeply in the culture and traditions of Costa Rica. Costa Ricans are proud to live among and protect their country s rich environment, as this small nation holds five percent of the world s land-based biodiversity and 3.5 percent of its marine life. Costa Rica produces nearly 93 percent of its electricity from renewable resources and 30 percent of its territory is protected natural land. A pioneer in the area of sustainability, Costa Rica is a model for sustainable practices for many industries within the region and around the world.

4 Testimonials I am thrilled to return to SAHIC to share the history of the Andes with all the attendees. It is a story of struggle against adversity, that is what we are all permanently struggling, it is a story of team work, of decision making and tolerance to frustration that I love sharing. Carlitos Páez Vilaró Survivor of The Andes Plane Crash Coming to Costa Rica is always a pleasure. I ve been here many, many times. I have fun memories of exploring the jungles, the ocean and the white water rafting. So this is a pleasure, to come here and spend some time with you all because talking specifically about my topic, climate change and the future of tourism is a very important topic. Specifically because tourism is going to be heavily impacted by the changes that we see in the environment. Changes in out ocean, changes in the climate, Rising Ocean levels. So I think we have to recognize the challenges that we are facing, we have to plan for them, but then we also have to be part of the solution. Philippe Cousteau Jr. Grandson of the legendary Jacques Cousteau, Author, Speaker & Social Entrepeneur I really like the way the venue and the agenda has been put together and the types of people that have been attracted and all different disciplines in the tourism and the hospitality sector. We look forward to many more years of participating in many similar venues. Karim Alibhai Founder & Principal Gencom Real Estate Services Corporation It's a very efficient format: it allows us to be able to converse with all the people with whom we work on a day-to-day basis when we carry out investment projects. It is very focused, very specialized to the investment area. We have hotel operators here, bankers, advisors who help us to execute these projects and for us, a company in charge of leading investments in the sector, it is very profitable to participate in an event where in an intimate climate and a participation quite curated, allows us to have these conversations that add a lot of value.
