Why isn't Panama a great tourist destination?

I've heard of friends going to Belize and Costa Rica. Recently even Nicaragua is open for tourists.

I hear Panama is very developed because of the US presence but I don't hear of Americans vacationing there.

Why?

A lot of Americans retire there.

My good friend is there right now for a long vacation.

Their hat factories.

Does Panama use American dollars?

British Honduras.

It seems kind of bland to me. Not a lot to offer culturally. Costa Rica markets itself better for those looking for nature, beaches and outdoor activities. Guatemala has cool ruins and Mayan culture. Panama has…a canal. I’ve heard there isn’t much infrastructure for getting around unless you have a car. Panama City does have a beautiful skyline, but it’s not reason enough to travel there.

Because everyone learned that Panama hats are actually made in Ecuador.

I visited in 2018. It was pretty, but boring. Admittedly, I like 5 star restaurants and museums on vacation.

Because Jack told them not to.

We built, we paid for it, it’s ours! Even the SONG was nuthin’ but an ad to attend Van Halen concerts for their hi jinx and high flying buffoonery.

You haven't been to Panama, until you have experienced the sunny seaport of Colón!! Enjoy the colorful locals! Drink the tap water! See the sites of Downtown!
