The Panama Tourism Authority and Copa Airlines are launching a new
promotion to promote Panama as a tourist destination – the “Visit Panama
Free” campaign. The new campaign provides travelers with connecting
flights through Copa Airlines’ Hub of the Americas at Tocumen
International Airport the opportunity to visit Panama for no additional
airfare.
The
promotion positions Panama as an option in combination with other
destinations. Travelers not only will experience the advantages that
connecting through Panama offers, they also will be able to visit two
destinations for the price of one airfare.
When
passengers make their reservations with Copa Airlines or through a
travel agency, they will be offered the option of visiting Panama for
free and including the stop-over in their itinerary. The promotion is
available in the 52 destinations and 25 countries on the American
continent where the airline flies.
“This
project grew from our shared vision of promoting the country as a
tourism destination among the 5 million travelers to Latin America and
the Caribbean who travel with us every year,” said Copa Airlines’
Director of Marketing Marco Ocando. “They already are taking advantage
of the benefits of the Hub of the Americas at Tocumen, which offers
flights to more destinations in Latin America than any other hub on the
continent.”
