Growing Population

Currently, according to data published by the newspaper La República and the La Voz de Guanacaste site, the province has demonstrated the potential to become the new business center of the country. Because of this, the population concentration in the region has grown, instead of relocating to the GAM, as it has been practiced since the last century.

It is due to this growth, that the demand for real estate complexes, whether for housing, work, education or services, has been pressed to the market. So, the province has received support and incentives to improve the job and education offer of its inhabitants.
