(Infocom) — The marina project planned for Playas del Coco in Guanacaste has received the go-ahead by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute’s (ICT) Inter-institutional Commission on Tourist Docks and Marinas.

The project, on the drawing board since 200, seeks to become a magnet for tourists in the area, thus injecting dynamism to the economy in this popular Pacific coast beach by generating direct and indirect employment.

The marina would be constructed at Punta Centinela and would have capacity for 300 boats.

Now that the project has been okayed by the government commission, the Municipality of Carrillo will study it the proposal to initiate a concession process.
The El Coco Marina Development Association (Asodemac) is the entity in charge of the project. Representatives said the plan is moving at a good pace and the recent approval is testimony that the marina will be built according to environmental policy as regulated by the Environmental Technical Secretariat (SETENA).
