Panama’s commitment to Sustainable Tourism
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 9:10
Along with most tourism destinations on an international basis, Panama has committed to a sustainable tourism program. Their plan entitled Plan Maestro de Turismo Sostenible 2007 – 2020, takes a realistic and developmental view of truly establishing a sustainable route forward for the tourism industry in Panama.
The overall project goal includes:
The promotion of sustainable tourism development on both a national and regional level via institution capacity development in the human resource, research development, planning and government sectors.
Economic benefits to extend to all related and affect sectors across Panama
Enhancement and streamling of tourism sector within the 2020 project timeline, thereby increasing employment and income in the tourism sector, from the local grassroots to the top tier national levels
The Tourism Authority in Panama has recognized the value in tourism, as well as the effective tools to eradicate poverty and increase skills development across the board within this dynamic sector, not limited to one aspect but rather on a holistic view of the diverse natural resources that Panama has to offer.
The project commenced in July of 2007, with implementation from July of 2008 and ensures a valid interest by all interested stakeholders in Panama’s lucrative tourism industry, as well as future potential.

How the Central America is still a very positive area for real estate??? The prices for condos and houses gone up three or four times for the last year/two! I know many people who abandoned their ideas about bying properties and moving to Panama just because it is not affordable any more to do so. Those with a lots of money bying tens of condos and then resaling them at much higher prices are ruining many peoples plans to relocate, the only good out of this is that those with a lots of money are making even more money because there are still people who are bying but that will slow down for sure as it can’t go like that forever. Too bed! Viva Capitalism!

One of the reasons for the market staying positive is due to the lack of available units for rent. The returns for your rental property can be very good. We are aware of the speculators in the market; there are not so many of these types of investors anymore. Many developers do not wish to sell their units to speculators as they have no intention of closing on the unit. It is a risky strategy for developers. Another point is that Panama real estate is not driven by the travel/tourism market; many of the people coming to Panama are doing so for business and retirement. Many other emerging real estate markets will be (some have already) hit much harder than Panama by the credit crunch.
