President Varela in Paris.... meets with Air France to further promote tourism

[olga suarez]

President Varela is in Paris participating with world leaders in the climate change discussions, and while in Paris, not only did he pay his respects to the terrorism victims but also took time to meet with Air France officials to promote Panama as a tourist destination.

They are working with travel agencies, tour agencies and other outlets to promote Panama in several European hubs of Air France. Air France has increased their direct flights from Tocumen to Paris to 6 per week now, looking to expand even further.

This should be a nice influx to the economy

@ Olga. KLM is also flying 7x per week directly form Amsterdam. Lufthansa  a couple of times a week.

Indeed I see more and more European people visiting in Boquete.

Yes and I know some direct flights will begin from Rio Hato airport

@Olga. Claro que sí. Tocumen está bastante saturado para estacionar más aviones.

[olga suarez]

Oh si but with the expansion of Tocumen underway the problem shall become a little better.

Well thank you and as far as timing unclear as to why. Is it because of attacks? Paris did not postpone the climate summit so I guess he took advantage of the trip.

Once again, you are better informed than I am but... Just tying the event and promoting tourism here -hey sometimes the written language creates misinterpretation.. Fair enough?

Sincerely glad you are here and there is nothing about me anymore that could make me a "brownnoser LOL!

Thx Olga- I do like your informative posts. But this one seems kind of bad timing on the part of the President?
