191: Costa Rican Tourism Bonds with Richard Bexon

Johnny interviews Richard Bexon from Costa Rica Tourism Bonds to find out about this investment in the Central American country which not only allows you to earn a return on your money, but also provides accommodations and the chance at Costa Rican residency. Richard has lived in Costa Rica since 2004. He's the co-owner of Central America's largest luxury travel agency and has vast experience in real estate investments, both commercial and private. Sam hops on with Johnny before and after the interview to talk about this investment.   About Costa Rica Tourism Bonds:  It goes without saying that a company offering investments has a strong focus on financial returns, but it doesn't end there. Costa Rica Tourism Bonds places a high value on lifestyle, responsibility, and sustainability. This means we only work with properties that hold these values in equally high regard.    We started Costa Rica Tourism Bonds as we saw strong demand for an investment vehicle that both generated returns and provided a lifestyle benefit, whereby investors could enjoy the fruits of their investment by enjoying luxury vacations in the properties they invested in.  Where better to invest in than one of the most beautiful and biodiverse places on the planet, Costa Rica.   This is coupled with the eagerness of tourism properties in Costa Rica to diversify their investor base and share the benefits of investing in one of the world's most vibrant travel destinations with international bondholders.    It's a match made in heaven for investors that value a lifestyle investment that can be enjoyed by themselves and their family.   Richard has lived in Costa Rica since 2004. He's the co-owner of Central America's largest luxury travel agency and has vast experience in real estate investments, both commercial and private.
