Tourism in Panama

Along with real estate, tourism is one of Panama's rising economic activities. Small and amazingly diverse, Panama makes it possible for a traveler to visit not only two different oceans in one day, but be able to combine in less than a week a diversified natural experience.
In recent years the North Western and North Eastern regions of Panama have drawn increasing amounts of touristic activity because of their beaches, temperate and tropical rainforests, all within easy reach of popular Costa Rica.
Bocas Del Toro, Boquete, and the surfing areas of the west coast are now huge tourist draws. Panama has become a cross roads for backpacking international tourists and has seen an increase in backpacker hostels.
