Top
10 reasons to choose Panama
-
Affordable Housing.
Panama offers a great variety of high quality housing options in
all price ranges, whether you want to buy or rent.
-
Climate and Environment.
Enjoy the warmth and lush vegetation of the tropics all year round---in
the city, at the beach, or in the mountains. Panama has more biological
diversity than Costa Rica and is dedicated to protecting its natural
resources. And in case you’re wondering, Panama lies outside
the hurricane and earthquake belts.
-
Lifestyle.
Abundant opportunities await the nature-lover, museum-goer, gourmet,
sportsperson, and more. Whether you like fishing or birding or hiking,
contemporary art or folk art, world-class cuisine or delicious regional
dishes, quiet mornings or a vibrant nightlife, Panama has it all.
- Healthcare
and Health. Panama has state-of-the-art medical facilities
and an international class of highly trained physicians and other
health care professionals. Moreover, its abundance of nutritious
tropical fruits and other farm products (not to mention some of
the best drinking water in the world!) will help you maintain a
healthy lifestyle.
-
Safety.
The crime rate in Panama is far lower than that in most U.S. cities
and other vacation and retirement destinations.
-
Language.
Because
of Panama’s historically close ties to the U.S. and because
many Panamanians have studied and worked abroad, English is widely
spoken. You can also easily find a tutor, or enroll in a local language
class if you want to learn
Spanish.
-
Accessibility.
Panama City is just 2 1/2 hours by air from Miami, and you find
direct flights to several other U.S. cities, too, including Houston,
Atlanta, and Newark. Panama is the hub of the Americas for Continental/COPA
airlines.
-
Financial Benefits.
Besides offering great tax incentives for retirees and investors,
the overall cost of living and doing business in Panama is surprisingly
low.
-
Political stability.
Panama is one of the most stable democratic republics in the Americas
and has been a committed U.S. ally since the construction of the
Panama Canal in the early 1900’s.
-
Economic Opportunity.
Panama’s economy is experiencing one of the greatest booms
in its history. Since the U.S. reversion of the Panama Canal and
surrounding military bases, the services sector has been flourishing,
especially tourism and maritime activities. Continued robust growth
is expected as work begins on a major expansion of the Canal.

"...the
beauty of Panama City is that it hasn´t become Miami yet.
It´s much more welcoming and manageable. And now is the
time to go -- before the Panama Canal gets its third set of locks,
before Donald Trump finishes his 65-story tower and before the
prices shoot just as high."
The Washington Post, February 2007
