Sources: Telenoticias and Costa Rica public holidays. Despite protests from the Costa Rica Tourism Office (Cámara Nacional de Turismo), who claims that long weekends promote internal travels, the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica (Asamblea Legislativa) is moving ahead with a revision of this year's decision to make some of the Costa Rica public holidays move to the nearest Monday (specifically: April 11, July 25, August 15, and October 12).Analysis: This is a follow-up to our post of January 15, 2007, which mentioned that the 2 holidays whose movable date status was causing the most ire, were Día de la Anexión de Guanacaste (Jul-25) and Día de la Madre (Aug-15). But for the moment, the dates of these 2 holidays remain as specified, on the nearest Monday.
