For the second straight year, the Parkland Chamber of Commerce is hosting an international trip for residents.

After going to Portugal last fall, this year's trip will take interested individuals to Costa Rica.

Chamber Executive Director Stephen Chychota says an information night regarding the trip is set for February 13th starting at 7 pm at the Contryfest Cinema.

"Representatives from the Collect Travel Company, who we are using at this time to take us to Costa Rica, will be on hand to go through everything and anything about this trip.  So if anybody at all is interested in this trip and needs a little bit more information on it, you can come out and pick his brain.  He is going to go through everything, including a full itinerary, maybe some experience videos, pictures of what the resorts are going to look like, the jungles, the excursions, the zip lining and bridges, and everything that we will be seeing along the way."

Chychota says interest is already strong for their 2024 trip.

"We have 22 seats already spoken for out of 38 that we can have. So yes lots of interest in it already."

Chychota says the Chamber trip is more than just a revenue generator for the organization.

"It is ultimately an experience tat we want to try to bring to people.  We are going to see different places, different businesses, different cultures and stuff like that.  Just a little bit more of a global experience."

The information night is free for anyone to attend.
