PANAMA. The number of tourists coming to Panama has decreased was one of the findings of the Tourism Executive Encounter, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.
The reasons for the slowdown are the global financial crisis and the A1/H1N1 pandemic that affected travel around the globe.

The bad news is that some have been suspended because the subsidies ran out in 2008 and no further capital is available.
