In the early 1980's, Golfito began it's journey towards tourism. Check out this early Lacsa Airline commercial promoting the region. The end of the United Fruit Company's reign in Golfito and departure from town put a definite damper on the movements in that direction for more than a decade- but our tourism community is back on track.... "You can't keep a natural wonderland like Golfito down". Check out the landing strip back in those days. It was still in dual use - As a par 3 golf course for the Chiquita-Dole executives and as the local commercial air field. Cool!
