Interest in Puerto Viejo Continues to Grow
Posted by Editor | April 3, 2009 | Categories: Accidents and Natural Disasters, Crime & Punishment, Site news, Tourism | 2 Comments
In these challenging economic times, many local businesses seen a drop in business. But there is some good news too: interest in Puerto Viejo and the South Caribbean coast of Costa Rica remains very high. You can see this by looking at the growth of visitors to Puerto Viejo Satellite. In the quarter just finished, there were over 40,000 unique visitors to the website!
Traffic has grown at a very fast rate ever since the website has launched and the website is bigger and better than ever with:
• More listings than ever
• More features than ever like the recently added restaurant page or the listing detail pages (see this one for example)
• More complete information than ever – additional transport options for example added to the transport page as we find out about them
The area has also benefited from the marketing savvy of the owner one of the newer hotels in town, Banana Azul. Banana Azul was recently even mentioned on the Today show as a affordable vacation spot in these recessionary times. As more people find Banana Azul, they also discover the whole area as they discover the place that is a good fit for them or visit local restaurants and tour providers.
The growing tour company Gecko Trail Adventures has also contributed. Their Costa Rica tour packages have a strong emphasis on the Caribbean coast and so many people discover this area even if they don’t know Manzanillo from Montezuma.
All in all, we see great things ahead!

That’s great!!!
I just wish you’d post some real information on your blog. Three posts a month about new band and turtles not gonna do it. Give us some news about community and what’s happening in the world of PV business. People are coming back to your site to get that info but they don’t get any. SO, STOP BLOVIATING!!!!!
Pura Vida Mops!
And I just wish I had more time to research and do stories…have made many requests for community volunteers to help out by writing and sending in stories but very little comes in.
Are you stepping up?
