4 Autoridad de Turismo de Panamá Panama s Sustanaible Tourism Water Management According to the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the principles that define tourism are: The Panama Canal is nestled in a watershed of abundant biodiversity where humankind and nature coexist and work together. Over 160 different types of mammals native to the region rely on the Panama Canal Watershed as their source of drinking water and survival. atural and cultural resources are N conserved for continued use in the future, while generating benefits; ourism development is planned and T managed in a way that does not cause serious environmental or socio-cultural problems; he environmental quality is mantained and T improved; The Expanded Panama Canal n effort is made to mantain a high level of A satisfaction of visitors and the destination retains its prestige and commercial potential; and; The Expanded Panama Canal was inaugurated on June 26, 2016, creating a third lane of traffic and doubling the cargo capacity of the waterway. he benefits of tourism are widely distributed T throughout society. The Expanded Panama Canal allows the transportation of larger cargo volumes using fewer vessels, thus reducing CO2 emissions because it involves less cargo movements compared to other systems. These characteristics make sustanaible tourism a strategic tool in local and national economic development. 4 Autoridad del canal de Panamá As a complement to that coexistence, the Panama Canal is continuously focused on managing a clean and healthy watershed.

5 ministerio de educación miambiente Promoting School Integration of all Indigenous People The Ministry of Education (MEDUCA) is the government institution responsible for education. MEDUCA is part of the National Commission for Cooperation with UNESCO, consisting of 3,862 schools from grades K-12. The student s population is approximately 854,000 and counts on a teaching staff made up of 43,774 teachers. This institution, as a supporter of human heritage, promotes the integration of all indigenous people, respecting and valuing their unique cultural and social traits. Currently, the student population from the indigenous reservations (comarcas) represents 11% of the total student enrollment in the country. There are seven (7) indigenous groups, who still abide by authentic social, economic and political structures; as well as a rich diversity that reflects the multicultural and multilingual society in the Republic of Panama. Panama s Biological Wealth When the Isthmus of Panama surfaces, the land bridge created between the north and the south of the American continent facilitates the dispersion and connectivity of different species from both latitudes. This connection explains our extraordinary biodiversity. In quantitative terms, Panama has more than 1,000 bird species, more than 200 amphibians, approximately 250 reptiles, more than 250 mammals, and about 1,400 fish groups. More than 10,000 plant species have been registered,to this date. This biological wealth positions Panama among one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet, placing a great responsibility and commitment for its conservation. We invite you to enjoy the hidden secrets of our ecosystem. Added together, they represent 14% of the population of Panama. 5

6 Conjunto Monumental Patronato Panamá Viejo Instituto Nacional de Cultura Panama Viejo, an Exceptional Place The Panama Viejo ruins, especially the cathedral tower, are national symbols and must-see tourist attraction in Panama City. It is a recreational area and an obligatory field trip for the school population as well as the scenario of one of the greatest archaeological undertakings that includes research, conservation and valorization of objects in a historical setting. On July 5 th, 2003 the UNESCO World Heritage Commitee added the Panama Viejo Archaeological Site to the World Heritage list as an extension of Panama s Historic District. Custodian of our Cultural Heritage Instituto Nacional de Cultura is the governing entity of the Panamanian Cultural Heritage responsible for the coordinating, disseminating, supporting and promoting artistic and scenic expressions, the visual arts, literature, traditions and Panamanian folklore customs. Its objective is to provide cultural integration mechanisms, with the plans for socio-cultural development; thus contributing to forging a dynamic and prosperous society in a modern and globalized world. 6

7 La Alcaldía de Panamá Ministerio de Comercio e Industrias Culture as driver and enabler of sustainable development On August 15 th, 2019, Panama City will celebrate 500 years of its foundation: a unique history marked by intercultural diversity due to its geographic location, maturing as a commercial crossroad. The establishment of Panama is a result of the first explorers seeking a path to unite the two oceans, the important gold and silver routes from South America to Europe, the construction of the first trans-continental railroad, the construction of the Panama Canal as well as the US Canal Zone territory control for over a century. Culture and identity The Republic of Panama, transit country, enjoys a rich cultural diversity. Seven indigenous ethnic groups, afro-descendant groups, creole and mestizo populations and immigrants from various parts of the world express their intangible cultural heritage in all traditional practices that reaffirm their identity. Among the most popular traditional costume of the mestizo, creole an afrodescendants groups we find several variants of the polleras (shirt and skirt) based on its use, roles, fabric and regions. Men wear their shirt according to their region or general uses: camisilla, montuno, cotona, tonosieña, amongst others. Taking advantage of this historical celebration, Panama intends to use it as a framework to promote creative cultural activities. 7

In addition, they accomplish volunteer work with organizations that promote the conservation of the environment, in tasks such as reforestation, cleaning-up beaches, field trips and educational programs with the public. 8

9 Museo del Canal Interoceánico Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute The Land Divided, The World United On August 15, 1914, the Ancon steamer inaugurated the Panama Canal route from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in an event whose motto was, The Canal divided the land but united the world. Immediately, mankind was connected commercially by means of the new route. This motto, by a US government official, omitted mentioning that men from almost all parts of the world had come to the Isthmus for more than thirty years to divide the central mountain range to unite the Atlantic with the Pacific. The construction included approximately 80 thousand workers and took the lives of more than 25 thousand of them. At the time, the Panama Canal was the largest engineering feat in the world, separating a mountain range - proof that in uniting efforts, humankind can achieve the unimaginable. On rare occasions historically, migrations had such cultural and ethnic influence that an area becomes a melting pot of races. Panama is a country where the voice of the people represents the world travelers who crossed the seas to build a canal. Agua Salud Project As a bridge for jaguars, migratory birds and other animals moving between Central and South America and at a major crossroads for global trade, Panama s 700-hectares Agua Salud project is uniquely positioned to answer this globally significant question. Since initiating work at the Agua Salud site in the Panama Canal Watershed in 2007, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) has installed research infrastructure and experiments that advance our understanding of the interaction of water, carbon storage and biodiversity. 9
