In January, the entry of 26 thousand visitors was reported, a figure that increased to 28 thousand 612 in February, while in March there were 43 thousand 326 entries. However, in April the movement returned to 30,301 visitors, which represented a decrease of 30% compared to the previous month. In total, 128,246 visitors entered Panama in the first 4 months of the year.

At the end of March, the Government imposed restrictions on the entry of visitors from South America, a region that in recent years contributed 40% of visitors to Panamanian tourism.

Tourist unions have requested that the quarantine restrictions for travelers from the south be eliminated, in addition to allowing entry to travelers who enter with a negative test, without the need for another test at the Tocumen International Airport.
