Panama Stopover is an initiative designed to change the way travelers explore Panama. Thanks to this program, passengers on Copa Airlines international flights can stop in the country for several days, at no additional cost to the ticket price, before continuing to their final destination.
With this strategy, the Panama Tourism Authority and the airline aim to attract more than 300,000 tourists annually, positively impacting the local economy and consolidating Panama as an essential destination.
The proposal is clear: instead of waiting a few hours at Tocumen International Airport, travelers can stay up to seven nights in Panama. This option turns a brief stopover into an opportunity to discover the country’s diversity, from the modern skyscrapers of Panama City to the lush jungles of the Darien, offering a glimpse into a dynamic and multifaceted country.
Using Panama Stopover is a simple process designed for all types of travelers. When booking a flight with Copa Airlines, passengers can make an extended stopover in Panama without paying additional fees. This option is available for connections to more than 80 destinations in the Americas and the Caribbean, providing an excellent opportunity to explore further a destination in the heart of Central America. Plus, the logistics are convenient: travelers can choose from customized itineraries, including visits to historical sites, ecotourism tours, or beach getaways such as the Riviera Pacifica, Bocas del Toro, and San Blas.
A unique opportunity to get to know Panama as an investment destination.
In addition, the Panama Stopover is an open door to new opportunities for those interested in business and investment. Panama has gained renown in the last decade as a financial and logistics hub in Latin America. Its economic stability, real estate opportunities, and favorable tax regime make it a point of interest for entrepreneurs worldwide. The program offers the advantage of exploring the country before making financial decisions and evaluating first-hand the commercial and investment opportunities in a real environment.
For those who wish to explore the possibilities of a life in Panama, the renowned Real Estate Company Grupo VerdeAzul has developed its “Try Before You Buy” program. This initiative allows potential investors to experience life in Panama before purchasing real estate by temporarily living in selected luxury residences. In this way, they can enjoy the Panamanian lifestyle and evaluate whether the country meets their personal and professional expectations.
“Try Before You Buy” goes beyond the conventional tourist visit, providing the experience of living in a local community that Grupo Verdeazul offers. Participants can explore specific areas, get to know the community, and assess aspects such as connectivity, cost of living, and quality of services. In addition, the program offers advice during the process so that the potential buyer or real estate investor can connect with local experts who can provide accurate information on legal, tax, and financial issues related to property purchase.
The combination of the Panama Stopover program and “Try Before You Buy” positions Panama as a unique proposition in the region. Touristically, the country offers the possibility of discovering a destination with unparalleled cultural and natural wealth. At the same time, from an investment perspective, it is a safe and stable environment to do business. Panama thus becomes an attractive destination for those seeking new experiences and those who wish to explore investment opportunities in Latin America.
With such initiatives, Panama is striking the perfect balance between tourism and business, inviting visitors and investors to get to know and experience the country first-hand. Taking advantage of these opportunities allows us to discover a fascinating destination and make an informed assessment of the options for a possible life or investment in Central America.
