Panama is actively working to establish itself as a regional hub for tourism, with a particular emphasis on diversifying its offerings beyond traditional attractions. Vice Minister of Tourism, Jorge Correa, highlighted the nation’s strategy to promote its beaches, mountains, and inland gastronomy on a global scale. This initiative signifies a move to attract a wider range of tourists and lessen reliance on established coastal destinations. The focus on the interior of Panama seeks to distribute economic benefits more broadly and showcase the country’s natural and cultural diversity. Correa emphasized the importance of event tourism as a key driver for this diversification, positioning Panama as an attractive location for international conferences and gatherings. This strategic push aims to elevate Panama’s profile as a multifaceted tourist destination within Latin America and beyond.
