We were able to visit 2 different companies today, one being Kyndryl and the other being Dos Pinos. Both of them have very different models that they implement. Kyndryl is a huge international business. This brings lots of jobs to Costa Ricans which helps with investment as well.
Dos Pinos is owned by Costa Rican farmers and is not international. This type of model helps local people more, by giving them support.
From my knowledge, I think Dos Pinos creates more of a lasting value for Costa Rica. The benefits stay local to the community and help them out more. Kyndryl still is beneficial to the country and communities, but I believe Dos Pinos creates more of a long lasting benefit for them.
Neither of the companies connect to ecotourism a lot. If anything, Dos Pinos connects more because they support locals and keep the benefits to Costa Rica. Ecotourism cannot be directly correlated with Kyndryl.
