Central American countries invest in Trade Events and New Venues
El Salvador and Panama are among Central American countries targeting the UK C&I market by investment in trade events and new venues.
After a remarkable increase in the number of British groups to Central American during 2008, El Salvador and Panama are among Central American countries targeting the UK C&I market by investment in trade events and new venues.
Panama plans to boost trade with several four- and five-star hotel openings over the next three years. These include the $176m Megapolis Nortia Tower, set to open in Panama City in 2011. It will offer 2,200 rooms across 74 floors, a conference centre, meeting rooms, a leisure centre, gym and spa.
Other developments include:
- The five-star Hotel Riu Guanacaste opens this year on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, with five conference rooms.
- The Central America Travel Market (CATM), held for the first time in El Salvador, from 9-11 October.
- The largest exhibition centre in South America is set to open in San Jose, Costa Rica, by late 2010
