DESIGNING THE FUTURE 1982-1992

After a decade of success in the leisure and cruise ship business, the company kept looking for new business segments and started to explore the world of Meetings and Incentives. Reaching out to Incentive Houses across The United States and sharing with them the company´s growth caught their attention, making it possible to bring the first ever Incentive Trip for Control Data Corporation to Costa Rica.

Looking at the constant growth of tourism in the country, we wanted to excel in the level of service to our visitors. However, the lack of quality motor coaches and minivans to transfer our guests was becoming an issue of concern. So in 1985, Swiss Travel created Cielo Azul, the first Costa Rica transportation company fully dedicated to serving the tourism industry not only for ourselves but also for other tour operators in need of quality service.

HOW IT´S GOING

Nowadays, Swiss Travel works closely with all the major resorts in the country to create the most unique Incentive programs to fulfilled clients’  goals for the most prestigious companies in many industries,  including technology,  automotive,  finance,  insurance, and manufacturing, among many others. The company´s corporate model focuses on offering professional advice in the planning stage, providing seamless operation, and innovative experiences to all guests.

To comply with the corporate model, Swiss Travel owns a large and modern fleet of tourism motor coaches in Costa Rica, from fifty-passenger buses to brand-new minivans. To ensure a comfortable journey for our guests, all the coaches are constantly tracked by GPS at the operations office in real-time, and all drivers have vast experience taking care of travelers. Furthermore, to compensate for the CO2 emissions, the whole fleet of transportation is certified as carbon neutral and holds one of the highest insurance policies in the industry.
