<\/a>PANAMA TOURISM AND REAL ESTATE\u00a0are two\u00a0of my favorite subjects as I find interested readers\u00a0eager\u00a0to tell me their perspective on things, both good and bad.\u00a0 I must admit that while there are a\u00a0few people complaining about the lack of numbers of tourists visiting Panama since the boom times, most are either developers or real estate agents who enjoyed the days when it was like handing out free candy at the school house.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the Global shift in world economies also hit home in Panama, we are really lucky that it was not as bad as most other markets.\u00a0 With hopes of lightening up some of\u00a0my despondent readers, bankers and attorney friends, what would you do if you opened up La Prensa and saw this AD\u00a0for property in Panama.\u00a0 I know a number of bankers who would be experiencing a pucker factor of 9 right now just thinking about it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead, we are seeing articles that may seem repetitive, and I am glad that they are, where Panama continues to grow and grow and grow, albeit not at the same rate as before.<\/p>\n

As reported in CentralAmericaData.com:<\/p>\n

ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL REPORTER<\/p>\n

Panama’s Economic Activity Index Up 4.16% for January to June 2010<\/p>\n

Source: Statistics and Census Bureau of Panam\u00e1
\nFriday, August 27, 2010<\/h2>\n

The most active sectors were: retail, transport, logistics and communications, hotels and restaurants, mining and quarrying, community services, construction, and electricity and water.<\/p>\n

For the period January to June 2010, the Monthly Index of Economic Activity (IMAE) displayed growth of 4.16%.<\/p>\n

Retail reported a positive trend, both in store and for wholesalers.<\/p>\n

Transport and communications were helped by telecommunications activity, container shipping loads through the National Port System and air transport. Negative trends were observed in some traffic through the Panama Canal.<\/p>\n

Hotels and Restaurants benefitted from increased spending by tourists, particularly in the capital, Panama City.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Trends that Panama must focus on to succeed.<\/h2>\n

Government support, incentives and spending.\u00a0 These are some of the key factors that the government and the country of Panama must do,\u00a0especially now while the world is hearing more and more about this beautiful country and how much potential it has to grow and proper even further.\u00a0 To that end, the government recently announced another good plan that I read about in La Prensa.<\/p>\n

Panama Considers More Incentives for Tourism Sector – machine translation<\/h2>\n
A new initiative from the country’s Tourism Authority (ATP) will, if approved, provide the sector with even more incentives.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The project seeks to create one legislation combining all the regulations, certifications and incentives that currently exist for the sector, as well as incorporate new ones.<\/p>\n
“Projects currently being developed in Panama’s 10 designated tourism zones can apply for incentives established in Law No. 8 from 1994 such as 20 year tax exemption on furniture, fixtures and equipment and zero tax on the company’s profits during the first five years of operation,” reports Prensa.com.
\n<\/strong>
\nThe new legislation will keep these incentives and increase them depending on how isolated the development is, according to ATP investment director, Teodolinda Quintero.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Teodolinda Quintero, director of the ATP Tourism Investments, said that work will continue with the same incentives as established by Law No. 8 of 1994, but if it\u00a0is further away from the tourist development, the\u00a0\u00a0incentive would be\u00a0\u00a0higher.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Under the new legislation these incentives would be given also by product, ie, if lodging, restaurant, agency or tour operator.<\/p>\n
The project also will include certifying that the land transport \u00a0used to mobilize the tourists,\u00a0 \u00a0must have certain characteristics, like having air conditioning.<\/p>\n
Likewise, they will check the level of training of drivers who will also undergo\u00a0 tourism training.<\/p>\n
The new law also would eliminate certain requirements that are now mandatory for companies pursuing an activity related to tourism.<\/p>\n
Soraya Alderete, chief of the Department of Tourist Companies and Activities of the ATP, said that travel agents are required to be Panamanian\u00a0citizens and the general manager has a tourist suitability for the company to operate.<\/p>\n
However, the recommendations adopted by the Department of Tourism Investments will only be necessary for an executive of the travel agency tourist count suitability for the company to obtain the approval of the ATP.\u00a0It also would eliminate the requirement of citizenship.<\/p>\n
For Ernesto Reina, president of the Panamanian Association of Travel Agencies and Tourism (APAVIT), the initiative is positive because it would remove many bureaucratic steps that somehow limit the investment in tourism.<\/p>\n

\"Drug<\/p>\n
One of the other key factors that Panama does not want to see becoming a trend is crime.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n
While Panama is a poor country and like Korea where I grew up, we always had to be aware that there are the “haves” and the “have not\u2019s” and the “have not\u2019s” will take what they can sometimes to just feed the family.\u00a0 What we cannot afford to have is an expansion of crime associated with the drug trade that does pass through Panama.\u00a0 We have been somewhat fortunate and the government has a pretty serious zero tolerance attitude and we need to keep it that way.\u00a0 I remember many of my friends back in Miami, kidding me that I needed to look out for bandits and rebels when I moved here.\u00a0 I chose Panama, they like a lot of the crowd that knew where to invest in a foreign country chose Mexico.\u00a0 This headline should keep us focused on not letting this happen here.<\/p>\n
Mexican Resort Unsafe: 14 bodies found.<\/strong><\/p>\n
“Authorities say at least 14 bodies have been found in the Pacific beach resort city Acapulco.”\u00a0 I won’t go into details as the headlines\u00a0are enough, but if you want to read the whole story read here…<\/a><\/p>\n

Enough of the News and on with my other favorite subject, Real Estate<\/h2>\n
If you did not catch my last couple of Posts, I have launched the Panama Property Exchange and it seems that there are some like minded people who are sending me properties for consideration.\u00a0 While I do have a few mega mansions and huge tracts of land, I am also getting some bread and butter listings\u00a0from people who have property here\u00a0who want to return to the the US or Canada and people who are in the US and Canada who are looking to come to Panama\u00a0and trade\u00a0for properties that\u00a0they have\u00a0back at home.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I need some land maybe with a home on it in El Valle\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 or Boquete<\/a> for $600,000 to $700,000 as an example.\u00a0 Maybe you would like to trade for some land in Maggie Valley<\/a> or just sell it for cash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Panama Property Exchange<\/h1>\n
If you have a property to sell, you will know only too well how hard it is sometimes\u00a0to find that elusive buyer. What though, if you could find someone in the same situation, who wants to move where you are, and vice versa? What if you own a luxury estate that you don\u2019t use often enough and want to explore new parts of the world.\u00a0 Or, you have a property and a dream that due to a change in plans is not what you want to do or where you want to do it.\u00a0\u00a0Well, we have set up\u00a0Panama Property Exchange<\/strong>\u00a0and we may help you find that match.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We will select a few properties each week that we feel offer good value and are not over leveraged and we hope that you will drop us a line to see if\u00a0\u00a0your property\u00a0may a fit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The slowdown in the property market\u00a0means that you may have to explore different options to sitting around with a for sale sign.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0There are other ways to\u00a0 move property, we believe that this may offer you a viable option.\u00a0 There\u00a0may\u00a0be someone out there who wants what you have and vice versa so why not give it a try.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Permanent property exchange \u2013 how it works<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Permanent property exchange\u00a0is really just saying \u2018I will buy your property if you buy mine\u2019 All the legalities are basically the same as they would be in a conventional sale, and you should incur no additional costs, and can actually make big savings. You don\u2019t have to find an exact match in value to your own property, and it is possible to trade up or down as long as all concerned are in agreement. You can go it alone\u00a0 or if you prefer you can involve your agent, if you want additional support. It is 100% legal, but you will of course need the services of a Lawyer, and if you are moving up, will need to arrange a mortgage, as you would on a conventional property transaction.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Personal Service<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Panama Property Exchange<\/strong>\u00a0we like to offer a personal service, and are available to answer your questions, and give advice where we can. We are aware that Permanent Property Swapping is a new concept, and you will no doubt have questions. We have made it as easy as possible to contact us if you so wish, and offer several ways.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
