The economic, social and demographic growth of Costa Rica has been impressive and remarkable since the end of the Civil War in 1948 due to the fact of the existing various inherent factors that made the country more stable and prosperous. This stability of the region has been the prime force in attracting foreign investment from high technology enterprises.
Many entrepreneurs and just one of them like Ed Mercer the “Co Owner of Ventana Del Pacifico”, fell in love with the pristine views of the country. An astute business mind of Ed prompted him to foresee the opportunities in real estate of the region. For this reason, he soon ventured into the land development business amassing thousands of acres of breathtaking land. Simultaneously, Ed and Sylvaine created a one-stop-shop organization that aimed at making the buying and selling of their properties easy and pleasant for the customers. Generously in addition, a portion of very sale on Ed’s company goes towards reforestation efforts and meeting the infrastructural challenges in Costa Rica. Be of the same mind, Ed is truly a philanthropic millionaire, as he is compassionately called Mr. Costa Rica since the humanitarian issues of children, women and families have always been taken up passionately as well.
Nelson Madrigal Marin, a guard on Ojochal, Costa Rica speaks of how he lost his first job due to a knee accident and joined Ed’s concern in 2003 in recommendation as a guard. In the beginning, he concealed the matter (the knee accident). However, before long, Sylvaine got the twist of his pain and investigated about what was really happening to him. For that issue, Sylvaine did not fire Nelson as he thought. Rather, on her property, she got a house built exclusively for Nelson at no cost. She also called for a physician from United States to operate upon the guard’s knee in a private clinic in San Jose for reconstructive surgery. Nelson, up till now, thank God for sending Sylvaine in his life, who showered an extraordinary compassionate spirit. She did not only cover the medical costs but heighten the morale of the employee’s family as well. Now, Nelson can keep on working hard along with his salary that is much higher than before with all the social and work benefits. Accordingly, he calls Ed and Sylvaine as the most humanitarian employers he ever met.
Furthermore, Ed Mercer was inducted into a prestigious event for his pioneering efforts to save the wild life species of the scarlet macaws, white-faced monkeys and the sea turtles, which were on the verge of extinction in Costa Rica. The security guards were posted by Ed to stop the illegal poaching. He also makes certain that thousands of almond trees were planted to attract the macaws for breeding and increase their population along with that of the monkeys, whose population increased in safe habitats. He also provided protected nesting beaches for sea turtles.
On the other hand, after the end of the civil war, the welfare system and the public school institutions expanded greatly in the country of Costa Rica. The period between the 1950s and the 1970s was a golden era, though in 80s due to inflation, the growth somewhat receded. In 1986, President Arias had a peace plan implemented that won him a Nobel Prize as well as the pride and stability of the county. At this point in time, the tourist industry was on the top, arrival of foreign tourists was steadily rising year after year.
Now at present, the two sterling features of the tourism in Costa Rica have been the concentration on ecotourism and the formulation and arrival of large international hotel chains in the region. The neo-liberal modern outlook has resulted in the privatization of the state-run institutions. The efficiency and professionalism of the private services are a far cry from the earlier situation where the regulation of the monopolies was monstrous.

The economic and the political stability of Costa Rica is a big indicator of the fact that it is the majority of the people who will benefit greatly from the new incorporated changes.
