The president of the Panama Maritime Chamber, Enrique Clement, in an interview with Radio Panama gave details about the statement made by this entity to the authorities, specifically to the Maritime Authority, the National Immigration Service and the Panama Tourism Authority for the complaints They have been given by tourists who come on cruise ships.
“We have sent a statement in which the three institutions to which we point out and hold responsible for what happens in this area that is important for the economy of our country are mentioned, if we do not have an explanation from the authorities, who will give it to us? to give,” Clement said.
I also emphasize the migratory processes that affect the capacity of our country for cruise tourism, in addition to procedures and costs of administrative processes, as well as the issue of supplying the bunker, play a negative role for the image of Panama,
In addition, the lack of support for tourists is also a cause for that person to get a bad impression of our country “Last weekend we received photographs and reports of tourists who were in the sun for more than 4 hours, you know what it is to have to a tourist with the weather that we have for more than 4 hours, that leaves the tourist with the desire not to return to the country, the sad thing here is that it is not only the Maritime Authority, here the Tourism Authority must also be involved that they They are the ones who have to ensure quality due to the conditions that we offer as a country to these tourists”, concluded Clement
