    Best,

  • Buzzy, Burston-Marsteller used to represent CR; not sure they still do. On my last trip to Costa Rica, I dealt only with Tartan Group, which represents some high-end ecolodges.  I do have this contact information from a press release: visitcostaricapress@bm.com; 866.600.6806. Let us know who actually turns out to be the right person. 

  • Hi all,

    Thanks and Happy New Year,

    Buzzy
