The president of Costa Rica, Carlos Alvarado Quesada, has appointed Gustavo Segura Sancho to the function of minister of tourism.
He may also step up as government president of the Costa Rica Tourism Board, changing María Amalia Revelo Raventós as head of the division.
Segura Sancho has a level in economics from the College of Costa Rica and an MBA in sustainable growth from the distinguished INCAE Enterprise College.
His skilled profession contains intensive expertise in each the private and non-private sectors.

As a result of his expertise in sustainable tourism, Segura Sancho was a key participant within the implementation of Costa Rica’s Certificates for Sustainable Tourism (CST).
The CST categorises corporations primarily based on the diploma to which they adhere to sustainable practices – a pioneering programme launched by Costa Rica in 1997 and backed by the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO).
Three clear areas are the priorities for Segura Sancho as minister: the return of worldwide flights step by step and safely; the implementation of instruments to ease the monetary
difficulties of tourism corporations; and the execution of measures to reactivate the economic system.
“It’s a nice honour to serve Costa Rica as its new tourism minister, a place that comes with even the next duty presently because of the advanced scenario attributable to Covid-19, a pandemic that has been notably dangerous to the tourism trade.
“It’s my want and activity that Costa Rica stays a key world tourism participant,” Segura Sancho stated.
The now former tourism minister, María Amalia Revelo Raventós, handed over her place to the president final week as a result of “well being causes”.
