Christopher Howard’s Tour on the Today Show
February 2nd, 2006 Posted in News about Costa RicaDuring the last year I have personally seen a huge leap in the interest in Costa Rica. I have personally been interviewed by reports for Newsweek, Ophra’s magazine and Fortune.
I suspect this spike in interest in Costa Rica has to do with the Baby Boomers coming of age. The year 2006 is when the first group of Baby Boomers turns 60 and draws closer to retirement age. Many of them find themselves in a position where they just can’t afford to spend their golden years in the U.S. and maintain a decent lifestyle. Consequently, many are forced to look abroad for a more affordable lifestyle. Costa Rica may just be the place they are seeking. I spoke with an economist from the U.S. the other day and he says we are seeing the beginning of this tendency of Boomers moving abroad.
The other day I was contacted by a producer of the NBC’s Today Show. She want to bring a camera crew here to do a report on retirement. They will film parts of the seminar, my inland and beach tours plus profile a few expats and what they do here.
Please stay tuned my friends to find out when the show will be aired. I plan to post this information on my site and in the newsletter.
