Panama is seen as a country linking North and South
America, making up the thin parcel of land between the two continents
and providing the famed trade route between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans.
But Panama in the modern world is much more of a link
than just trade and physical geography. Since the end of the
dictatorial reign of General Manuel Noriega in 1989, Panama has become
a shining example of how a country that was previously seen as
old-fashioned and closed has developed and opened itself up to the
economies and investment of international business and retained its
character and traditions.
This development of the country and
its potential has led to an influx of overseas property investors
seeking to take advantage of the growth of international business and
also the tourism opportunities that are available in a country that has
coastlines on both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
