Marketing Panama as a Tourist Destination



Welcome to a destination where all is possible and affordable, Panama your best choice to spend your vacations and where your money goes a long way.

Panama has been characterized by the IMF as one of the most economically successful countries of Central America. Its strong economy has attracted many multinational companies like Dell, Caterpillar, Proctor and Gamble, Hewitt Packard, and DHL that recently moved their regional headquarters.
If you are a person that loves meeting people and visiting exotic places, Panama is the country that you have to choose.  Whether you are already retired or in process, you should think of Panama, for it provides retirees with a good quality of life, wonderful places to live and a good economic growth if you are interested on investing too.
Panama has also a sophisticated infrastructure that was mainly influenced by Spanish, French and of course Americans. It is also a country free of natural disasters and earthquakes.  Panama is the pearl of the Americas and a destination full of adventures that you cannot miss a chance to live all of them.
Panama welcomes everybody with abundance, passion and above all with that warmth that stands its people out.

Indecisive, here are some reasons for what you should visit Panama. 

Panama is a safe country
Tourists attest that Panama is the safest country in regards to crimes to tourist and businessmen.

Panama is a country where English is spoken AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
English is well-spoken by a numerous population in Panama and most of the hotels and restaurants have hired bilingual staff to satisfy the great influx of tourists that come from English speaking countries.

Panama has exotic places at a convenient distance
Location has become a key factor in the decision-making of tourist.  Panama’s city style resembles Miami; therefore everything is interconnected. Tourists do not have to travel long distances to find the place they want according to their needs and desires. Bird watching, golfing, zip-lining and more can be done in the capital city. Not forgetting to mention the Panama Canal, the 8th wonder of the world, which has become a universal emblem and a renowned symbol that distinguishes Panama among other Nations.


Panama holds islands and beach resorts to appeal the most demanding of the desires
With more than a thousand of islands, Panama boasts retreat beach resorts with the most exquisite designs in both coasts. It is imperative to mention that Panama’s location is the treasure that makes it the country of fish and beautiful islands due to the S shape that the country has. 

Panama’s currency is the USA dollar.
The USA dollar is still strong; therefore doing business in Panama is still rentable.  A country where buying using the dollar is not a problem for those countries with USA currency.
Panama is also a country for adventures seekers
Canoeing on rapids, rafting, trekking, zip-lining, surfing and kayaking are sports that adventurers love experiencing. In Panama all of them are possible and the prize is really low to the rush of adrenaline adventures will get.

Investment more than a possibility, a reality
With a quite competitive economy, a simplified tax structure and a recession resistant growth of the 7% and incentive laws, and with a low wage that companies have to pay. Panama once again outstands as a country of investment appealing and excellent opportunities to those that want to open up their enterprises in this fertile land for investing.  
   
Panama City – what to see and do
If you want to be in touch with the modern, contemporaneous and antique. Panama City is the best place to be. Panama City embraces the past, the present and the future for it is formed by three Cities. The ruins of Panama the antique of the 16th century, it is a famous city that bears the richness of history of the country, when pirates Henry Morgan and Sir Francis Drake burnt it down in search of its gold.   The “Casco Antiguo” or the antique compound of the 17th century, a colonial city that bears the heritage of the Spanish, French and United States that can be easily identified by its architectural design, streets layouts and by the Church of the golden altar. This has been preserved as the conquistadors left it to not lose its historical significance. The site was declared by UNESCO as a world heritage.
The modern city with the Miami like style of the 21st century is the section of the city that has superb skyscrapers, and a kind of Manhattan Skyline. Tourist might think they are walking through the streets of Miami when in that part of the city. The city also bears luxurious restaurants from different part of the Globe (Peru, Mexico, Costa Rica and many other countries to mention a few) with unique décor and excellent personalized attention.
