About CAMTUR

The Chamber of Tourism of Panama (CAMTUR), was constituted on June 5, 1986, on the initiative of visionary tourism entrepreneurs who considered the growing need to create a large Tourist Chamber, without ends of profit, formed by entrepreneurs of the tourist sector committed to the development of Panama, incipient at that moment. These businessmen and important representatives of other associations of the tourist sector and related sectors will consider it necessary to have a strong Tourism Chamber, which will represent the interests of the business sector before the Government and other public and private bodies, as they exist in other countries of the Central America region. After 35 years of creation, CAMTUR has achieved an important goal in the tourist association, becoming a consolidated and solidary voice of the private tourist company before the National Government, other public and private institutions, both national and international, and before the public opinion.
