The universal discount card has finally come to Costa Rica. Costa Rica After Dark is promoting local businesses involved in the entertainment and travel sectors of the Costa Rican economy. This program has been described as CityPass in Central America.
Costa Rica After Dark prides itself in being a complete marketing plan for nightlife as well as day time activities in Costa Rica.
They are coordinating their kick off party this coming week in Jaco with Tetro Jaco’s “Jaco Ha Ha 2012”, a comedy festival that runs from July 5th until July 28th. Teatro Jaco and Costa Rica After Dark are encouraging people to make a week or a weekend out of this opportunity to see one of many acclaimed performances from NY, Texas and Costa Rica’s own/ capital San Jose. Not only are you able to get a discount on theater tickets (20%), you can also save on meals, accommodations, tours, sport fishing, or a drink before or after enjoying a good laugh at Teatro Jaco. The VIP card is also valid for 6 months to allow you these savings until after the new year in Jaco, San Jose, Tamarindo or in many of the other locations that will be added soon into the CR After Dark program.
