ECI PRESENTS A LIVE WEBINAR FOR ANYONE CURIOUS ABOUT OUR FIRST COSTA RICA TOUR
Costa Rica Beyond the Brochure: Tour Webinar
Thinking about joining us for our December 4–10 Costa Rica Lifestyle & Investment Tour? Before you decide, join Lora Hassen and Betsy for a candid conversation about what the tour is designed to show you, and the parts of Costa Rica that don’t always make it into the polished version.
Free Q&A • September 8, 2026 • 5:00 PM ET

Limited Time Only!
Costa Rica is gorgeous. That doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone.
The beaches, wildlife and tropical landscapes are easy to appreciate. But considering Costa Rica as a place to live or invest comes with a different set of questions.
How does the humidity affect daily life? What are the roads like? How frustrating can bureaucracy become? What happens to your budget when you rely on imported goods? How accessible is healthcare outside the Central Valley?
Those are the kinds of questions we want to talk about.
This live conversation is designed to give you a more complete picture of Costa Rica and explain how our upcoming Lifestyle & Investment Tour helps you explore those realities firsthand.
If you hear all of it and still want to see Costa Rica for yourself, that’s when the tour gets interesting.
You don’t need to be ready to book. You just need to be curious.

Meet The Hosts

Lora Hassen
VP of Sales and Marketing, ECI Development
With years of experience guiding clients across Latin America, Lora helps individuals and families explore what living and owning abroad could look like through ECI Development’s communities.
Having lived and worked in both Panama and Costa Rica, she brings firsthand insight into the excitement, practical questions and decisions that come with considering a move overseas. Her background in hospitality and people-first approach to international property ownership have given her a deep understanding of what prospective expats and property owners want to know before taking the next step.
During the live Q&A, Lora will walk you through the Costa Rica tour experience, share context behind the itinerary and answer your questions about logistics, pricing, life in Costa Rica and what you can expect from this Lifestyle & Investment Tour.
Come curious. Lora will help you get the answers you need to decide if the tour is right for you.
Betsy
Tour guide and Property consutlant
Despite her years-long experience of living and traveling throughout Central and Latin America, Betsy isn’t joining the conversation as another Costa Rica expert. She remembers what it's like to consider another country to live or invest in, so she’s there to ask the questions a first-time visitor might be thinking, challenge assumptions, and push the conversation beyond polished talking points.

A different kind of tour conversation
Most presentations about moving overseas begin with everything that makes the destination appealing.
We’re taking a different approach. The purpose of this session isn’t to convince every person watching that Costa Rica is perfect. It’s to help you understand the country well enough to make a smarter decision about exploring it further.
That might mean deciding Costa Rica isn’t for you. That’s useful information too.
And for the people who hear the realities and find themselves even more curious, our December tour gives you the opportunity to experience those questions on the ground.
There’s no obligation to join the tour afterward.
Save your spot on the webinar, come listen, ask questions and decide for yourself if December in Costa Rica should be your next adventure.
