WORKING TO PROTECT AND RE-ESTABLISH MARINE ECO-SYSTEMS
With over 1,000 islands scattered across the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Panama offers a breathtaking backdrop for anyone looking to contribute to a sustainable environmental project. The country’s commitment to conservation is evident, boasting an impressive 54% marine and 33% terrestrial protected areas, ensuring guests can immerse themselves in pristine natural surroundings.
At Tai Nuare, we recognize the importance of preserving and restoring our delicate ecosystems. That’s why we are proud to partner with environmental organizations to minimize our ecological footprint and actively contribute to the restoration of marine habitats. Our commitment extends beyond preservation; we are dedicated to actively rebuilding marine beds and establishing our own reef system, creating a thriving underwater ecosystem for generations to come.
Join us at Tai Nuare in our mission to protect and restore Panama’s natural treasures. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the health of our oceans and ensure a sustainable future for all.
COMPARING COSTA RICA AND PANAMA ECOTOURISM POTENTIAL
Costa Rica, renowned for its eco-tourism offerings, attracted 2.4 million
international tourists in 2022. With earnings exceeding $1.7 billion annually from eco-tourism, the country’s commitment to eco-friendly activities is evident, with up to 80% of visitors engaging in eco-tourism-related endeavors.
On the other hand, Panama, while welcoming 2 million tourists in 2022, sees only 10% of its visitors partaking in eco-related tourism. However, despite this lower percentage, Panama demonstrates immense potential to gain a foothold in the eco-tourism market. With tourism revenues reaching approximately $3.61 billion in 2021, Panama’s burgeoning tourism industry presents a lucrative opportunity for eco-conscious investors and travelers alike.
While Costa Rica has long been celebrated as a premier eco-tourism destination, Panama’s untapped potential and growing commitment to sustainability make it an emerging player in the eco-tourism arena. With its diverse landscapes, rich biodiversity, and strategic location bridging the Americas, Panama offers a unique opportunity for investors and travelers seeking to explore new frontiers in eco-friendly travel and investment.

Hospitality Competition
With over 300,000 oceanfront rooms in the caribbean less than 200 are exclusive overwater villas
Unlike the Maldives, Mauritius and Bora Bora the Caribbean has few locations suitable to safely build overwater units.
Market insistence and extremely limited supply are creating up to $3K-$12K nightly rates, booking out nearly 100% a year in advance for these Caribbean resorts.
This major supply/demand imbalance is unlikely to be leveled out anytime in the next 10+ years
