Nicoya to Welcome Tourists with Park
The Nicoya city council has passed a resolution making the town’s central park a permanent fair in a bid to attract tourists. They will be remodeling the colonial church and build a boulevard in addition to setting up kiosks in the park. Traditionally snacks and refreshments were sold informally in the park, but in November the Ministry of Health prohibited these sales. According to the mayor, Bernardo Vargas, the kiosks are of public interest since they generate employment and provide a good service for tourists. The new resolution is supported by health officials in a related agreement with the city council.
