Daniel Oduber International Airport has become a cornerstone for the economic growth of Guanacaste province. Its impact has not only boosted the tourism industry but has also created a fertile environment for investment in real estate projects like Ciudad Nya, the innovative urban development that combines beach, mountain, and city life in a single proposal.
A Catalyst for Economic Growth
Liberia’s international airport is one of the main engines driving Guanacaste’s economic boom. With 1.6 million passengers in 2023 and steady growth in 2024, its capacity to connect the province with 22 international destinations has been crucial in attracting tourists and investors. In fact, the airport represents 17% of Costa Rica’s tourism income, and more than 40% of visitors to the country choose Guanacaste as their destination.
Each dollar invested in the airport generates 12 times its gross value in production for the region. This has driven productive chains and increased demand for goods and services. Luis Fournier, administration manager of Guanacaste Airport, highlighted in an interview for La República newspaper the multiplier effect of airport infrastructure on the local economy, creating more job opportunities and improving quality of life.
Ciudad Nya: A Project in Tune with Growth
This growth has not gone unnoticed by investors. Ciudad Nya directly benefits from the influx of tourists and international investors arriving through the airport. Strategically located just 5 minutes from the airport, Nya offers quick and convenient access for those seeking an investment or second residence in a paradise-like setting. The connectivity with key destinations in the United States, Canada, and Europe makes Ciudad Nya an attractive option for those seeking a unique lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to international services and facilities.
Moreover, the increase in airport passengers has generated a greater demand for housing, vacation rentals, and high-end residential developments. Ciudad Nya, with its offer of luxury apartments and a wide range of amenities, is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this trend.
A Bright Future for Investment
With Liberia airport setting new visitation records in 2024 and projecting sustained growth, Ciudad Nya positions itself as a key point for investors looking to capitalize on Guanacaste’s economic and tourism boom. The data speaks for itself: the region has seen a reduction in unemployment, and its contribution to the national GDP continues to increase, already representing 6%.
The synergy between air connectivity and real estate development is creating a virtuous circle of growth. More and more people see Guanacaste as a destination to settle or invest, and Ciudad Nya presents itself as the ideal option for those seeking a lifestyle that combines the best of nature, comfort, and international accessibility.
