Costa Rica officially became a multi-ethnic, pluricultural nation in 2015. Representatives from the principal minorities, in particular Afro-Costa Ricans and indigenous peoples, played an important role in contesting the erstwhile dominant narrative of Costa Rican’s white European settler heritage. One of the intended consequences of the constitutional amendment was to ensure greater salience of ethnic minorities in public policy and social life. This study investigates the public display of linguistic and cultural diversity on commercial and community signage in six urban centres of Limón, the most ethnically diverse province. Undertaken in the same year as the constitutional amendment, the study examines the inclusion of languages and cultural references attributable to three main minority groups (Afro-Caribbean, Chinese and indigenous), and more recent migrant settlers, in public space. Greater salience was found in locations appearing to target a local readership; references to indigenous cultures were almost completely absent, however. Changes in the public narrative on Costa Rican identity may gradually encourage greater salience of official minority groups on public signage. An immediate challenge entails the effects of the expanding tourism sector, as this appears to favour a proliferation of decontextualized international cultural references rather than an appreciation of locality and historical rootedness.

Hay pocos estudios científicos sobre el turismo sexual en Costa Rica. El estudio más importante sobre los turistas masculinos lo hizo Megan Rivers-Moore, quien implícitamente propuso varias hipótesis. Aquí analizo la totalidad de los mensajes del foro InternationalSexGuide.info entre el 2002 y el 2015, comparándolos con las hipótesis de Rivers-Moore, las categorías del “Prisma de Intimidad” de Milrod y Weitzer y datos de la literatura sobre mujeres que visitan Costa Rica para hacer turismo sexual. El análisis de los 4 409 mensajes muestra que los hombres dialogan, aconsejándose acerca de cómo obtener una visita satisfactoria a Costa Rica, visita que incluye sexo pagado pero no se limita a este objetivo únicamente. Las trabajadoras sexuales tienen poca interacción entre sí, pero los hombres se sienten parte de un grupo que intercambia información útil. El deseo de “Ser Tratado como Novio”, aunque no es predominante, es frecuente y se ajusta a la adaptación biológica propia del Homo sapiens en lo que respecta a interacciones de pareja. La mayoría de turistas masculinos hacen visitas cortas en las que tratan de interactuar inicialmente con varias mujeres para luego centrarse en aquellas con las que se sintieron mejor. Unos pocos casos evolucionan hacia una relación compleja que incluye el compromiso emocional. A pesar de la diferencia de poder financiero entre clientes y proveedores de servicios sexuales, los papeles tradicionales de género subyacen las relaciones, sean los turistas hombres o mujeres, lo que probablemente refleja una compleja combinación de factores biológicos y culturales.
