Panama is world famous for two things; the first, obviously, is the Panama Canal and second is the richness and sheer diversity of its wildlife ~ flora and fauna.

Panama is currently in the throes of a large and ambitious Government sponsored global marketing campaign to attract more researchers, tourists, investors, retirees, inward investment, etc, to the country. This in turn is generating a great uplifting in all infrastructure, services, products and internal and International transportation provision.

The worlds focus is firmly on Panama.

In this current climate of ‘credit crisis’, the world is shuddering under the onslaught of ‘downturn’, ‘slumps’ and ‘financial panic’. Why then is Panama being looked at by the rest of the world with envious eyes? Panama is being forecast as ‘growing’ ~ by about 5%+ in 2009. Last year [2008] and the year before, saw economic growth which is continuing despite the Global malaise. Panama is still seeing stability and opportunity in so much of the country.

We have been asked to offer this unique Special Interest Business Opportunity ~ Paradise Gardens Wildlife Rescue Centre and Gardens ~ which is based in the ever popular Boquete area in Panamas’ jewel in the crown ‘Chiriquí’. Here, wildlife abounds, the culture is stunning and presents itself as the ‘land of opportunity’.
