Latin America
The rise of Latinos in the U.S. over the last few years is by no means an isolated event. Across Latin America there is an unprecedented economic boom and emergence of Latin culture taking place. According to Thomas Friedman, author of the international best-seller THE WORLD IS FLAT, real growth and opportunity is exploding across Latin America. Yet we hear so little about it in the U.S. media, and even less in our own business circles. With the U.S. economy increasingly affected by changes going on around the world, shouldn’t we look ahead and see how we can take advantage of our cultural ties? Isn’t now a great time to expand our horizons and make new friends and build new alliances up and down our own hemisphere?

Panama
Panama is booming. Every day it grows in importance to all countries of the Americas. It is compared to Switzerland or Singapore in its strategic relationship to the financial and business life of our hemisphere. Major international companies, over 180 international banks, retirees from all over the world, and Americans looking for second homes and investments are all discovering the many advantages of Panama.

The Latin Business Chronicle in its September 19, 2006 issue reported, “Panama is set to grow more than any other country in Latin America next year, the [IMF] fund predicts.” Panama offers attractive prices compared to America and Europe—especially in the housing sector. The government has a well-thought-out plan to work with private enterprise to develop the nation’s infrastructure, and investors are beginning to take notice.

Along with a rapidly growing economy, Panama boasts one of the greatest engineering marvels in human history, the Panama Canal—and Panama is now building a second one that’s twice as large as the original!

Panama also has magnificent rainforests, fascinating indigenous cultures, and some of the finest beaches in the world.  From its gleaming skyscrapers to its sun-drenched shores, from its verdant forests to its island resorts, Panama, in the words of Harpers Bazaar, is “the most beautiful retreat in the world.”

Join us on this adventure to Panama and see for yourself why so many people are interested in moving to, vacationing in, establishing businesses in, and investing in this remarkable country.
