(PRWEB) – JD’s Watersports in Costa Rica is offering $50 per person off on all customized Costa Rica vacations reserved before December 31, 2008. See http://www.jdwatersports.com/ for information about traveling to Costa Rica.

JD’s Watersports in Costa Rica has customized thousands of vacations to Costa Rica since 1992. JD’s specializes in Costa Rica vacations only, and is an expert on planning vacations to Costa Rica. JD’s also owns and operates several activities, including Sportfishing, Sunset Cruises, Jungle River Cruises and guided rainforest hikes in one of Costa Rica’s top National Parks.

With a $1.9-billion-a-year tourism industry, Costa Rica stands as the most visited nation in the Central American region, with over 1.9 million foreign visitors in 2007.

Costa Rica is one of the World’s most diverse destinations, with active volcanoes, 5 types of rainforests, World-class sportfishing, whitewater rafting, hiking, Canopy Tours, surfing, beaches, golf and many other diverse attractions. Because Costa Rica is a small but mountainous country, it takes more time to get from one point to another. Thus, creating a successful Costa Rica vacation involves more logistical and detailed planning.

JD’s offers personalized service to its customers by encouraging them to talk with its Costa Rica vacation specialists about the specifics of their Costa Rica vacation.

“Many travel websites do not provide the detailed information people need to plan a successful Costa Rica vacation,” says Pat Hoyman, President of JD’s. “Most companies discourage customers from calling to actually help them plan a vacation. JD’s believes it is faster, easier and better to actually discuss each person’s Costa Rica vacation because every vacation is different. This unique approach saves our customers valuable time and money.”
Ecotourism is extremely popular in Costa Rica, with many tourists visiting the extensive national parks and protected areas around the country. Costa Rica was a pioneer in this type of tourism and the country is recognized as one of the few with real ecotourism.

In terms of the 2008 Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index, Costa Rica reached the 44th place in the world ranking, being the first among Latin American countries. Just considering the subindex measuring human, cultural, and natural resources, Costa Rica ranks in the 24th place at a worldwide level, and ranks 7th when considering only the natural resources pillar.

JD’s offers several sample packages to help travelers begin the process of planning their Costa Rica vacations, including the Wonders of Costa Rica, the Romance of Costa Rica, the Luxury of Costa Rica and Sportfishing in Costa Rica. These sample packages provide a good starting point. But JD’s encourages people to call their toll-free number to discuss their Costa Rica vacation with one of its Costa Rica vacation specialists.

To encourage people to experience Costa Rica’s many diverse attractions and their unique services, JD’s is offering a $50 per person discount on all customized vacations reserved before December 31, 2008. For additional information about this offer or to plan a Costa Rica vacation, please contact Pat Hoyman.
