Case Assignment #1 PANAMA AS PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS,
PRESENT AND FUTURE.

The Republic of Panama enjoys a vital geographical location, thus transforming this country into an important center of business not just in Latin America, but all over the World. Panama offers important services to ensure that international commerce continues to bring nations and people together. Known for its world famous Canal, Panama has become a symbol of peace and solidarity between nations. Panama has also developed one of the most important banking centers in the world, showing our great interest in contributing our part to the World financial market.
Panama's legal industry has developed into one of the most reliable and exciting legal regimes in the region. The nation’s legislation on Trusts, Corporations, Ship Registry and Tax has made Panama a very appealing destination for anyone who desires to enter the Latin American market, or simply seeks to build a strong, reliable and credible corporate structure.
Panama's tourism market is currently booming, catching the attention of all-types of tourists, which in return has made our real estate market a very lucrative one. For these and many more reasons, Panama should be your kind of place to develop a business.
Since the discovery of the Pacific coast of Panama, visionaries dreamed of one day creating a great passageway from the Atlantic to the Pacific, thus avoiding the 12,000-mile journey around the tip of South America.
The United States is the largest user of the Canal in terms of cargo tonnage, as either port of origin or destination, although Asian countries are beginning to close the gap. About 12% of U.S. sea-borne international trade, in terms of tonnage, passes through the Canal annually. Ships bound for Japan from the East Coast of the United States save about 3,000 miles by going through the Canal;

    The Panama Canal opened many doors in terms of trade to help America’s economics. One example it has helped is as the nation had expanded fully out west to California, gold was later discovered in California. America was eager to create a short sea passage to America’s western-most parts for gold shipment, and eliminate the transportation of gold over land to the east coast. Over 10% of all U.S shipping goes through the canal. Those exports represent jobs for Americans because all of the products are made in the U.S. The Panama Canal also allowed easier access to their newly acquired territories, such as Puerto Rico and Guam. Also not only did the Canal reduced the time it took to travel from the east coast to the west coast, but it cut the time nearly in half which results in significantly reducing shipping costs. Finally the fee for other countries to even pass through the canal contributes to the economy because the ships pay up to $300,000 for one round.…

    To set up the context, a brief overview of Panama’s history will be presented. Panama is located on the narrowest and lowest belt of the continent. It is midway between the landmasses of North and South America. This has made Panama a major regional and global transit hub for travelers by sea, land and air. This strip of land, which is 700 km long by 100 km wide, is made up of an isthmus that was created when the oceans separated about three million years ago. This is quite recent in geological terms. The Isthmus of Panama has always served as a bridge between the two major continental masses. Before the first Hispanic settlers, the native population was uniformly distributed along the coast and fluvial communication routes. With the arrival of the Spaniards, this bridge function was slightly modified as a shortcut between to oceans. The territory was then organized along the Trans-isthmian route and on the base of two terminal cities. Panama City and “Nombre de Dios”, both founded in 1519, were the first terminal cities. Due to many pirate attacks…
