It comes after the UK was included on the country’s list of low-risk countries.

The list also includes EU and Schengen area nations, as well as Canada.

Costa Rica will pursue a "gradual revival" of its tourism industry with a phased reopening to international flights.

The country’s new tourism minister, Gustavo Segura, said this would extend to "fewer than five" commercial flights a week to start with.

However, he said the move would serve as "drops of hope" for the more than 600,000 people in the country who directly or indirectly depend on its tourism industry.

Visitors will be required to present evidence of a negative PCR test taken 48 hours prior to their trip.

Upon arrival, visitors will need to complete a digital epidemiological form and purchase travel insurance that covers accommodation in case of quarantine and medical expenses for acute illness.

Costa Rica’s two international airports, Juan Santamaria in San Jose and Daniel Oduber in Liberia, have also added new health measures for all passengers arriving into the country.

Sector-wide recovery efforts in Costa Rica include 16 health protocols launched by the Costa Rica Tourism Board, have been recognised by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).

The WTTC has awarded Costa Rica its Safe Travels stamp, which allows travellers to identify destinations and businesses which have adopted its global standardised health and hygiene protocols.

Costa Rica doesn’t currently feature on the UK’s list of travel corridors, meaning any travellers would have to self-isolate for a fortnight upon their return to the UK.

The Foreign Office is also advising against non-essential travel to Costa Rica at this time, although it remains to be seen whether this changes after 1 August.
