Anywhere Costa Rica Company Profile
Anywhere Costa Rica Sustainability Mission
We wish to support tourism activities that have a minimal impact on the natural environment and strengthen local communities. Through responsible tourism, we can help to ensure that Costa Rica will remain a healthy ecotourism destination for many years to come.
The Anywhere Costa Rica site offers a comprehensive selection of travel services. However, wherever possible, we are seeking to build resources that empower the prospective travel with sustainability information and choices. To learn more about the current sustainability features of our website, please read the Anywhere Cost Rica Sustainability page.
Beyond the features of our website, we employ a local Costa Rican staff, and our Anywhere Costa Rica offices have implemented on-site measures to reduce water consumption, conserve energy, and recycle wastes. Some of basic steps include: turning off all electronics at night, lighting with energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs, using biodegradable cleaning products, minimizing paper usage.
We also take a proactive role in our surrounding community. Currently, we are working with a committee of hotels and community members in La Fortuna to help initiate a community recycling program. In the past, we have made contributions to community programs such as the Huelas de Costa Rica, sponsoring student scholarship programs through the Monteverde Conservation Association, the Commission of Environmental Education of Monteverde CAEM, the local Orphanage of La Fortuna, Habitat for Humanity and the Monteverde Music Festival. Our staff works as volunteers in La Fortuna’s annual charity fundraiser Huellas de Costa Rica. Additionally, we seek to help preserve the country’s amazing natural habitats through contributions to Costa Rica’s flagship “Payment for Environmental Services” Program, in which locals are offered regular financial compensation for conserving their natural land.
By providing sustainable tourism website features, implementing green office practices, and assisting community programs, our company hopes to promote a sustainable environment for the benefit of Costa Ricans and visitors alike. We appreciate any suggestions you may have to further improve our sustainability practices and travel services.
Feedback from happy clients to the Anywhere team
From Kelsie Knudson to Patricia on 2009-10-27:
I’d like to write to express my gratitude for having Patricia help me plan my vacation. She was IMMENSELY helpful in answering all of my many questions; often times she responded within the hour! It was really nice to have one person to help guide me. I was about to tear my hair out trying to figure out all of the details before I came across your website. I just want to thank you, again, for having such a wonderful staff person. I am an international teacher living in Costa Rica for 2 years and I am recommending your website, as well as Patricia, to all my fellow American teachers who are also looking to travel. Thanks again, Kelsie Knudson

Hi Alfonso, Thank you for doing a great job of arranging our upcoming vacation. We have decided to skip the Arenal Volcano hike and the hot springs at this time. Everything else looks great and we can't wait to celebrate our anniversary in Costa Rica!!! Sincerely, Erin and Mark

I just wanted to thank you for helping to arrange our vacation to Costa Rica. Each of the different tours or events we scheduled through you were excellent! The quality of the guides, facilities, and safe environment made the trip wonderful. I also want to thank your representatives for giving us honest advice as to how to maximize time and minimize travel. I heard so many complaints from other people about their tour agencies and the hours wasted in travel. I have, and will continue, to recommend your superior service to others. Sincerely, Gurjeet Chadha
