In the context of the tourism sector, and meeting tourism in particular, ambassadors must be highly knowledgeable, prestigious, and influential in their field so that they can act as representatives and supporters of Costa Rica as a destination.
The Ambassadors Program has been developed to lead outreach to several sectors, including NGOs and the government, corporate, athletic and academic sectors, as well as social, military, educational, religious and fraternal (SMERF) organizations. It seeks to involve people with high-level contacts in these fields who can initiate the lead-gathering process.
