Quotes from the Press: Panama Makes an Impact Around the Globe
“Little wonder that Panama is increasingly lighting up the radar screens of those searching for an affordable alternative to more traditional south-of-the-border retreats…Touted as the next Costa Rica’ by travel magazines and newsletters like International Living, Panama is undergoing a land rush as its Tocumen Airport fills with planeloads of eager foreigners with cash in hand.” The opportunities are appealing not only for those seeking a place to retire but also for entrepreneurs.”
—New York Times
“Panama is the new Central American bargain where the US dollar-the market currency goes a long way.”
—Conde Nast Traveler
"When you get off the plane in Panama city, you have to decide just what it is you're looking for, because Panama is full of possibilities. Panama is really three countries: glitzy, supermodern Panama City; the cool, inscrutable, slow-moving interior (including jungle and cloud forest); and the varied, surfable, fishable coasts-backpacker-land. Like so many places that are at the center of their geographical area, Panama is a dream factory. It is not a dull place of sure bets; it is not a superproduced place, as Costa Rica has become. Many drams have been made in Panama, and many shattered, but it is a country that has always offered infinite potential. Panama is an opening gambit, and it opens the traveler up."
—Travel and Leisure
“Panamanians joke that the Mcdonald's franchises and glass skyscrapers make Panama City the “Miami of the South,” except that more English is spoken here. But….about six years after United States troops pulled out of the country and ceded control of the Panama Canal, the city is asserting itself as a tourist destination, not just a scenic overpass for an engineered waterway. Fashionable hotels now dot the cosmopolitan skyline. Crumbling colonial homes are being polished into bohemian gems. Emerald rain forests woo eco-tourists. For now, anyway, Panama City hasn't been overrun by tourists…”
—New York Times
"Panama is the most beautiful retreat in the world and almost undiscovered."
—Harper's Bazaar
“Property prices are predicted to rise by 400% over the next four years…”
—London's Daily Mail
“The Number One Retirement Destination in the Western Hemisphere”
