Tourists and retirees are arriving in greater quantities and consequently helping the local real estate market.  The culture, customs, and language of the Panamanians are predominantly Caribbean and Spanish.

Panama's economy is service-based, heavily weighted toward banking, commerce, tourism, trading and industry due to its key geographic location. The handover of the canal and military installations by the United States has given rise to new construction projects.  You can visit the following site for more information on Panama: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama
