Why take a Christopher Howard
retirement/relocation investment tours

If you are seriously contemplating Costa Rica, the ONLY way to REALLY know the country if you want to live here or retire or just live here, is to come EXPERIENCE it! Come see for yourself why people are talking about this beautiful country. It’s all about doing it the RIGHT way. You CANNOTinvest in anything better. NO more than the cost of a guided tour. You could NOT possibly do a tour like this by yourself and gain the same knowledge about living or retiring in Costa Rica. This isNO ordinary retirement/relocation tour which sets it apart from the others. It is one of the mostCOMPREHENSVE tours in the world and winner of the Latin America/Asia Travel Award for ExcellenceNOBODY offers a tour like this. It is the ONLY relocation/retirement tour LEGALLYapproved by the Costa Rican Ministry of Tourism.

Christopher Howard is with you EVERY step of the way to answer ALL of your questions. Your tour will be like an constant SEMINAR. Chris makes it so easy!

Christopher is ...
an advisor and member of the Costa Rica Alliance (most renowned experts in the country) along with the Association of Residents of Costa Rica (ARCR) to the Costa Rican government on matters concerning foreign retirees.

Use the tour that...
is the ONLY retirement tour and relocation service LEGALLY APPROVED and LICENSED by the Costa Rican government’s tourism department in 2004. In order to obtain the approval of said entity of the government, all applicants have to have an unblemished criminal record, the nature of their particular business has to be investigated and studied and the tourism department’s legal team has to approve the company. The whole process can take over a year in order to ensure the applicant and his services are REPUTABLE and to PROTECT the people who take the tours.

Do it with someone who... 
has lived in Costa Rica for almost 35 years, in Latin America for over 40 years and who has worked on special assignment for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. Christopher Howard has written and published 17 editions of his perennial BEST SELLER, “The New Golden Door to Retirement and Living in Costa Rica.” Experience is EVERYTHING and Christopher stands out ABOVE the crowd.

Use the pioneer and inventor of...
retirement in Costa Rica and who put the country on the map for Baby Boomers with his books and tours. Because of this success, his tours and books have been imitated but NEVER equaled by anyone.

No imitations, use someone who... 
has a Masters Degree in Spanish linguistics and therefore understands all of the nuances of the country, the Latin culture and mindset BETTER than any other foreigner in Costa Rica. He has written the ONLY Spanish guide to help beginners learn Costa Rican slang. This information cannot be found anywhere else in English. It has already helped 1000s master the basics of the local language. Knowing Spanish will save you TIME and MONEY. On the tour Christopher will share his proven SECRETS for learning the language faster.

Make sure of your connections because...
you will definitely NEED the RIGHT contacts to be successful in Costa Rica. You meet lawyers, moving specialists, medical experts, the BEST contacts in the field of real estate, people who have actually moved here successfully. Christopher has personally met with Costa Rica’s Nobel Prize winning PRESIDENT on several occasions. As you can see he DOES know the right people.

You need an authority on Costa Rica and don't accept anything less
Christopher is the MOST widely read authority on living in Costa Rica and his retiremen/relocation tour has been featured on the NBC Today Show, CNBC World News, FOX News and other international television and radio programs. In addition, he is the ONLY author of the guidebooks about living and retiring in Costa Rica who resides in the country FULL TIME. Thus, he stays up to date on every issue that affects foreigners living in Costa Rica. This ENSURES that the information you receive on the tour is ACCURATE.

Always use experience and don't fall for amateurs like...

some of the guides who lead other tours and who have ONLY lived in the country a few years! How can you become an expert retirement guide or offer relocation services in such a short time? People think by just moving to Costa Rica and spending a few years here they are qualified. Indeed Costa Rica is a magical country!!! People can be turned into experts almost over night!!!

Become another success story ...
and one of the happy people who has made the move easily. 
The NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!

Over the last two decades Christopher has PERSONALLY HELPED 1000s of people relocate successfully to Costa Rica and live their DREAMSNOBODY, absolutely NOBODY else can make this claim. You could NOT be in better hands and could NEVER learn what you do from Christopher on your own or from anyone else. Christopher takes great PRIDE in helping his clients achieve their GOALS in Costa Rica.

Deal only with winners...
and use someone that has a successful investment portfolio and who will SHARE his methods of how to profit by investing in Costa Rica, if you so desire. In 2008 Christopher published his 12 guidebook....  “The Official Guide to Real Estate in Costa Rica.”

Don't get involved with self serving REAL ESTATE tours...that make you warm and cuddly when there and remorseful later on.
