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.
