Long before the term \u2018globalization\u2019 was popularized, Panama was an important player in the global trade of goods and the types of cultural exchanges typical of large ports. The country developed a robust service economy, creating business opportunities and strategic alliances, and opening its doors to benefit the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, and thanks to Panama\u2019s unique geographical location, the country has played a fundamental role in global mobility. The discovery of the \u2018South Sea\u2019 reaffirmed the short distance between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans and made Panama the most important trade route between Spain and the American Pacific. In 1855, Panama became the home of the world\u2019s first intercontinental railroad and the Panama Canal opened in 1914.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this legacy, Panama continues to invest in its mission to connect the world. The Panama Canal expansion guarantees the transit of maritime cargo for another 100 years, and the new terminal in Tocumen International Airport\u2019s Hub of the Americas makes it possible for millions of people to travel safely and comfortably to more than 90 cities in America, Europe, and the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a regional trade center, Panama enjoys access to excellent air and maritime transportation as well as overland connections to Central America, the United States, and Canada via the Inter-American Highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
