FAM TRIP?
Emerging Destination with High Potential: a fresh option for Latin American, Canadian, and European travel agencies looking to offer their golf clients something new — unique, exclusive, and still undiscovered. Perfect for well-traveled golfers eager to explore a different destination.
Strong Institutional Support: Both resorts have dedicated promotional budgets and Panama’s Tourism Authority is actively open to supporting commercial partnerships.
Easy Access: Direct flights from major US & Canada cities to Panama City make it extremely convenient.
Luxury Golf Resorts: Two world-class properties—urban sophistication at The Santa Maria, and tropical beach elegance at Buenaventura.
Smart Packaging: Flexible packages for 4-night individual stays or 8-night combined stays, designed for easy resale and high-margin potential.
To help you explore this opportunity first-hand, we’re organizing a FAM Trip from September 1 to 5, 2025. This experience is exclusively for select agencies and tour operators who are genuinely interested in adding Panama to their offering.
This is not just a familiarization trip—it’s an entry point into a destination ready to grow, with partners willing to invest in you.
