Although many would think that with the ongoing economic crisis that has swept the world, tourism would decrease in 2008, that wasn’t the case in Panama.
In 2008 Panama received 1 million 537 thousand tourists, according to the Department of Tourism (ATP). If this is true, the entry of travelers will have exceeded that aimed for by the ATP, which hoped for an entry of over 1½ million tourists.Compared with the ATP data from 2007, the inflow of tourists would have increased by 7.6% in 2008.
This means that even with the crisis and with much of the world falling more and more into debt, Panama is staying afloat and is still drawing visitors from all over.
So what ever it is that floats your boat, Panama seems to have it all, which is making it one of the most sought after locations to put foot on.
