Multimodal transport and logistics are among the topics that will be addressed in the international trade fair taking place on October 22nd - 24th in Panama City.
From a press release issued by the Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture of Panama:
For eight years, the Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture of Panama (CCIAP) and the National Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation (SENACYT), have joined forces to hold the Panama LOGISTICS EXPO, which this year will take place from the 22nd to the 24th of October at the ATLAPA Convention Center.
Globally, medical tourism spending has reached $ 60 billion and it is expected that in three years that figure should reach $ 100 billion.
In Central America, Panama is just beginning to participate with less than 1% of that market, where Costa Rica is one of the largest players at 16%.
Estimates by the secretary general of the National Department for Science, Technology and Innovation of Panama, Ruben Berrios, says Panama should be able to grow as a destination for medical tourism within 5 years and reach 12% of the global market.
