21-12-24


The Panamanian government is promoting an initiative to attract more international visitors interested in shopping in the country. To this end, it has proposed the creation of a shopping tourism visa, aimed at facilitating the entry of foreigners who wish to take advantage of the commercial benefits offered by the Panamanian territory.

The shopping tourism visa seeks to boost the economy by increasing the flow of visitors who, in addition to enjoying the country's tourist attractions, take advantage of the offers in shopping malls and free zones such as Colon and Tocumen. Panama, known for being an important logistics hub, also stands out as a retail destination, especially for electronics, clothing and accessories at competitive prices.

This project is part of the government's strategies to boost the tourism sector. According to the authorities, the measure will not only attract tourists, but will also encourage spending in sectors such as transportation, gastronomy and lodging.
