Panama
Business Opportunities. The Panama Canal, of course is the doyen which thrives in Panama today. Although the Canal provides only 9.6% of Panama's gross domestic product there is no doubt about its importance. For one thing, the U.S. built Canal led to the use of the U.S. dollar because of Panama's special relationship with the USA. The Canal ports and maritime trade which spawned the Colon Free Zone and encouraged the growth of the Panama Ship Registry, the largest in the world, since June 1993. Panama has announced an ambitious US $5.3bn plan to widen its famous canal to handle a new generation of giant container ships. President Martin Torrijos described the project as a formidable challenge but necessary if the canal is to retain its place as a key route for global cargo. With over US $10 billion in commercial transactions in 1995, generated by 1500 companies, The Colon Free Zone's high growth rate is a phenomenon that started 45 years ago. The CFZ is supplier to Latin America and as a free zone is surpassed in size only by Hong Kong. Any person or
business entity can operate in the Colon Free Zone. A commercial license is not required and there is no minimum investment required. Keeping in pace with modern times, gigantic steps are presently being taken in order to further expand operational patterns at the CFZ introducing manufacturing and assembly activities. For shoppers: goods are sent in bound from the Colon Free Zone to Tocumen International
Airport, where they are delivered to departing passengers. Normally they can get it there for a flight the following day. On the day of departure, leave plenty of time to get goods out of the customs area on the lower level of the
airport before checking in for your flight. Panama has always geared itself to profit from its privileged geographical position in order to establish commercial and legal advantages for foreign trade and services. The international Banking
Center (over 100
banks from 30 countries) provides many benefits, including the free circulation of the US dollar; the existence of laws protecting
bank secrecy; the freedom to
transfer funds and set the loan portfolio; the determination of interest rates according to the market influence; and the tax exemption of all interest earned on time deposits.
Panama is a Shoppers Paradise. Centuries before the Canal was built, Panama was already the Crossroads of the world. Products from the most distant and exotic countries found their way here, and still do. Nowadays the latest in electronic and
audio-
video equipment, clothing, perfumes and
cosmetics are available in abundance. Prices are very reasonable. Most items carry only a 5% sales tax and bargaining often gets you a lower price. Panama is an unrivaled country for shopping. It's considered a paradise for buying electronics, clothes, perfumes and handicraft. Lets Go to the Beach. Fronting two oceans, Panama offers a connaisseur's choice of beaches, both on the mainland and on islands just offshore. In Panama City there is the causeway with a small beach, a jogging and biking area and a plethora of
restaurants,
bars and
discos. Cross the Canal from Panama City, over the Bridge of the Americas, onto the Pan-American Highway and you are beach ward bound. From Punta Chame to Farrallon you can enjoy 40 miles of sun-blessed beaches for surfing, sunning, swimming and snorkeling. Recommended: Nueva Gorgona, Coronado, San Carlos, Rio Mar, Santa Clara and Farallon all with facilities for stopping over. Contadora, Taboga, Isla Grande or San Blas are the most visited islands with beautiful beaches. Panama has abundant natural assets with a variety of ecosystems. Worldwide flora includes more than 30,000 species and in Panama we find more than 50% of them. The most abundant are the orchids, with more than 120 kinds and 1,200 species. Birds also represent a rich eco-tourism potential with 933 reported species. Gamboa near the Canal, a 40 minute drive from Panama City has set world records in bird observation with counts of 525 species. It also includes 184 varieties of trees per hectare, also a record. A wide range of
tours are available from cloudforest expedition to Darien rainforest adventure, sky - diving or river rafting, diving in San Blas or deep sea fishing in Pinas Bay, even rock climbing or crocodile photosafari and much more The opening of the waterway to world commerce on August 15, 1914, represented the realization of a heroic dream of over 400 years. The 50 miles across the isthmus were among the hardest ever won by human ingenuity. A ship traveling from New York to San Francisco can save 7,872 miles using the Panama Canal instead of going around South America. In the fiscal year 1994 there where 14,029 transits, which carried 170.8 million long tons of cargo and paid US $419.2 million in tolls. The highest Canal toll was US $141,344.91 paid by the Crown Princess. The average time spent in transit from port to port is approx. 8 - 10 hours. Until Lake Mead was formed by the building of the Hoover Dam, Gatun Lake was the largest artificial body of water in the world.
