ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Costa Rica (CRCC) ua wehe wale ʻo ia i kona mau puka - kahi ākea 15,600-square-mika futuristic a hoʻomau i ka 10km wale nō mai ke kūlanakauhale nui o San José. ʻO ke kikowaena hui mua i kūkulu ʻia e ka ʻāina e manaʻo e hoʻonoho iā Costa Rica ma ke ʻano he mea pāʻani koʻikoʻi i ka mākeke hanana honua.
Me kahi hoʻokomo kālā he $35 miliona, hiki i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Hou ke hoʻokipa ma mua o 6,500 mau ʻelele me 4,400 mau mika square no nā hōʻike. Hōʻike ka CRCC i kahi hale nui (mahele ʻia i ʻekolu ʻāpana); ʻeono lumi hālāwai; eono lumi halawai; nā foyers nui a me nā wahi mua o ka hanana; kahi kikowaena pāʻoihana a me kahi lumi hoʻokipa VIP.
Aia ma waho o San José, aia ka CRCC he 8km wale nō ka mamao mai Juan Santamaría International Airport - e hāʻawi ana i nā mokulele pololei mai UK - a ke kaena nei i nā lumi hōkele 4,500 i loko o kahi radius 7km.
ʻAʻole ʻo ka hoʻomau ʻana he mea nui wale nō akā ke ʻano o ke ola ma Costa Rica, a ua hoʻokō ka Convention Center hou i nā koi āpau ma kēia kahua. Hōʻike ka CRCC i ka hoʻolālā bioclimatic, kaiapuni a me ka hoʻomau a me ka hoʻolālā - me ka ʻeka o nā paneli lā o ka hale, nā mea kanu hoʻōla wai, ka ea hoʻoikaika ikaika, nā kukui LED i loko a me waho a me nā wahi i loko me nā kumu lāʻau maoli. E hana ʻia nā kumulāʻau a me nā loko ma kahi e hoʻopuni ana i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike no ka hana ʻana i kahi ʻano pāka.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mauricio Ventura, ke Kuhina Kūʻai ʻo Costa Rica, "ʻo ka Convention Center hou ka mea e pono ai mākou e kōkua iā mākou e hoʻokau paʻa i ka ʻāina ma ka palapala honua o ka mākeke hanana hui honua, kahi e hilinaʻi ai ka kūleʻa i ka maikaʻi o nā lako a me nā lawelawe i hāʻawi ʻia. ”
ʻO ka wehe ʻana o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ma muli o ka hoʻolālā o ka Papa Kaapuni Kosta Rika (ICT) o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi hoʻolālā hoʻokūkū e hoʻokūkū wiwo ʻole i ka ʻoihana hui honua. I nā makahiki ʻekolu i hala iho nei, ua hoʻonui nui ʻo ICT i kona noho ʻana i nā hale kūʻai kālepa a me nā hōʻikeʻike, hoʻonui i ka hana o ka Costa Rica Convention Bureau a hoʻokumu i ka 'Ambassadors Programme' e loaʻa ai nā hui a me nā hui i ka lawe ʻana i nā hanana i ka ʻāina.
Wahi a Mr. Ventura, ua hoʻokomo kēia hoʻolālā iā Costa Rica i ka 53rd kahi i waena o 200 mau ʻāina i ka 2017 International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) kūlana honua.
Ma kahi kokoke i 80 mau ʻaha kūkā honua e mālama ʻia ma Costa Rica a hiki i 2021.
Hāʻawi ʻo Costa Rica i nā malihini i ka nui o nā holoholona hihiu kūʻokoʻa, nā ʻāina a me nā piʻi ʻana, ʻo ia ka huakaʻi i kēia ʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika Waena. Hoʻopili ʻia e ke Kai Caribbean a me ka Moana Pākīpika, haʻaheo ka ʻāina i ka 5% o nā mea olaola i ʻike ʻia ma ka honua.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- In the last three years, ICT has heavily increased its presence in trade fairs and shows, boosted the role of the Costa Rica Convention Bureau and created the ‘Ambassadors Programme' to get institutions and associations involved in bringing events to the country.
- Mauricio Ventura, Costa Rica's Minister of Tourism, said that “the new Convention Centre is what we needed to help us put the country firmly on the map of the international association events market, where success relies on the quality of the facilities and services offered.
- The opening of the Convention Centre follows the strategy of the Costa Rica Tourism Board (ICT) of developing a competitive plan to confidently compete in the international meetings industry.
