Panamanian tourism is on its way to exceed the statistics achieved last year. The spending by tourists in Panama increased 13.9% during the first nine months of this current year, according to official statistics by the Tourism Authority of Panama.

Enrique Pesantez, General Manager and President of the Pesantez Tour Agency, stated that Panama is being considered a rapidly growing country with a lot of drive. For that specific reason, —Pesantez stated— it is of great importance that there is willingness and a positive attitude among the Panamanian people toward the visitors to meet their needs, make them feel at home, and resolve any issue they may have while in Panama

The dynamic that the tourism industry in Panama is presenting continues to encourage more investors to increment the hotel biddings, while those investors that already exist seek an efficient technique to consolidate and augment their participation in the hotel bidding process. Ernesto Orillac, Vice Minister of the Tourism Authority of Panama, reported that the hotel business is well positioned through the joint efforts of the Panamanian government and private companies.
