Hub of the Americas

Panama City

Panama is leveraging tourism as a cornerstone for economic diversification, marked by a consistent rise in tourist numbers.
Key initiatives include the expansion of Tocumen International Airport, dubbed the “Hub of the Americas,” now accommodating over 15 million travelers annually.
The country is also enhancing its appeal to cruise lines with updated terminals on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts.
Cultural tourism thrives with the restoration of Casco Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that draws global visitors and investors. Additionally, Panama City’s new mayor is focusing on urban improvements, while the Panama Tourism Authority is investing in international marketing to bolster Panama’s status as a premier Latin American destination.
