Panama has one of the fastest growing economies and is also considered the safest countries in Central America. Panama also uses the US currency, so this makes it very easy for travelers from the US and there is no need to exchange your money. For a relatively small country of about 4 million people, we have a lot to offer. The most cosmopolitan capital in Central America, Panama City is both a vibrant metropolis and a gateway to tropical escapes. Many worlds coexist here. Welcoming both east and west, Panama is a regional hub of trade and immigration.
