Panama: The Gateway to Global Events and Economic Growth

At ITA Global, we celebrate incredible milestones that elevate destinations like Panama to new heights in the global tourism and event industry. It’s with great pride and excitement that we highlight Panama’s latest achievement: hosting the XXVII Ibero-American Congress of the Cerebrovascular Society from November 19 to 21, 2025. This prestigious event will bring together over 1,000 international medical professionals, reaffirming Panama’s role as the premier hub for conferences and conventions in the Americas.

Why This Announcement is a Game-Changer for Panama

President H.E. José Raúl Mulino recently emphasized the importance of tourism as a catalyst for economic recovery, and this announcement is a testament to Panama's commitment to growth. The collaborative efforts of PROMTUR Panamá and the ATP (Panama Tourism Authority) have positioned the country as an unrivaled destination for world-class events. This strategic focus not only draws global attention but also stimulates key industries such as hospitality, gastronomy, and local tourism.

What This Means for Panama’s Economy

The XXVII Ibero-American Congress represents more than just a gathering of medical professionals. It is a driver of economic impact:

• Boost to the Hotel Industry: With over 1,000 international attendees, the event will generate significant room bookings, benefitting Panama’s vibrant hospitality sector.
• Gastronomic Exposure: Global visitors will have the opportunity to experience Panama’s diverse culinary offerings, showcasing the country’s rich cultural heritage.
• Tourism Growth: Attendees and their families are likely to extend their stay, exploring Panama’s breathtaking landscapes and historical landmarks.

Panama: A Global Leader in Conference Tourism

Panama’s strategic location, cutting-edge infrastructure, and commitment to excellence make it the perfect destination for global events. As a natural hub between the Americas, Panama offers seamless connectivity through Tocumen International Airport, a major gateway linking over 90 destinations worldwide. Its modern convention centers, including the newly expanded Panama Convention Center, can accommodate large-scale events with world-class amenities and exceptional service.

At ITA Global, we recognize the vision and dedication required to achieve such recognition. Hosting an event of this caliber solidifies Panama’s position as a leader in the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) sector, while also demonstrating the collaborative power of government and private sectors working together.
