Panama will host the 2024 Adventure Travel World Summit
Panama was selected to host the 2024 Adventure Travel World Summit (ATWS), after the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) carried out an application process, through which various destinations and countries applied to be hosts, as reported by Tourism Minister Iván Eskildsen.
With more than 700 adventure tourism professionals from around the world, Panama will become the global epicenter of this industry that accounts for more than US$600 billion in tourist spending annually.
In this way, Panama will position itself as a world-class sustainable tourist destination, based on natural and cultural wealth and diversity, prioritizing Panamanian communities that host tourist experiences.
Eskildsen pointed out that Panama, being a very small country, is consolidating an international leadership in this segment, based on its richness and natural and cultural diversity, becoming a unique opportunity for communities around the country to promote their tourist experiences, in alliance with hotels, tour operators, guides and other members of the tourism value chain.
For her part, Gabriela Stowell, vice president of ATTA, expressed the great pride of working with Panama, and the valuable opportunity to learn a lot about its people, its nature and its culture.
"Panama will have a significant economic impact during the celebration of the World Summit on Adventure Travel, since visitors will be able to learn about the quality and diversity of its tourism products," she pointed out Stowell.
More than 100 leaders of the sector participated in this event, among them: members of the National Tourism Council-CNT, presidents of tourism sector unions, tourism operators, leaders representing communities in the country. Source: www.anpanama.com
WHY PANAMA?
Panama is the most advanced country in Central America, best known for its Interoceanic Canal, for its Banking Area, and for its Free Zone.
It is a beautiful and exotic tropical paradise, two and a half hours from Miami, located on a narrow strip of land that connects North America with South America.
Panama is located in Central America, bordering on the southeast of Costa Rica. There are daily direct flights to Panama from Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, South America and the Caribbean. Traveling by plane to Panama from Miami takes 2.5 hours and most cruise ships also disembark at its ports.
Panama has received the highest rating in tourism security by the world-renowned Pinkerton Intelligence Agency. The stability of the government has been characterized for decades and the local population sees tourists and foreign investors as friends who help in the development of the local economy.
Unlike its neighbors, Panama is not affected by hurricanes or earthquakes. Additionally, Panama has different types of climates ranging from the cold in the high mountains to the heat of its beautiful beaches in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans as well as the tropics in its forested areas.
The temperature is usually warm in the lowlands throughout the year with high temperatures of 90ºF and low temperatures of 72ºF. The temperature in the mountains is much cooler and the rainfall is more intense on the Caribbean side and less on the Pacific coast side, which is where Panama City is located.
Panama has many natural resources to enjoy such as its beautiful beaches along the Pacific and Atlantic beaches, exuberant vegetation, with a great diversity of flora and fauna, numerous islands along its coasts, beautiful coral collections, and a great variety of peaces in its seas. Panama is a tropical paradise to discover and enjoy.
The AARP Magazine (American Association of Retired Persons) has classified Panama as one of the four most important destinations to live abroad.
