to promote a natural feature found in many parts of Central America including Costa Rica and even here in Boquete.<\/p>\n<p>A plan is underway to boost medical hydrology in the north of the  country, taking advantage of the tourist infrastructure and natural  conditions in the area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">Entrepreneurs from San Carlos, in the northern  part of the country, plan to form partnerships &#8220;with the medical  community and businesses in order to build medical centers and train  professionals in the health industry, said <span class=\"hlink\">Lorena Herrera<\/span>, businesswoman and team president&#8221;, reported Elfinancierocr.com.<\/p>\n<p>Data from the <span class=\"hlink\">Costa Rica<\/span>n  Tourism Institute (ICT) has revealed that 25% of the tourists coming to  Costa Rica visit the area. &#8220;This type of tourism has been growing as  people recognize the benefits of thermal waters,&#8221; said <span class=\"hlink\">Gabriela Moreira<\/span> spokeswoman for <span class=\"hlink\">Baldi Hot Springs<\/span> resort.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <span class=\"hlink\">Rodolfo Lizano<\/span>,  leader of Macroprocess Planning and ICT Development, said
