Panama Panama City Located at the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, Panama City is an important hub for international finance and commerce. Tourism is the main economic activity, along with the export of bananas, coffee and seafood. The new wealth generator is the real estate market, with developers and investors from around the world showing significant interest in the planned expansion of the Panama Canal and associated infrastructure. With no direct flights from the UK, Panama
City can be reached from Amsterdam Schiphol with KLM which flies there five times a week, or on Iberia’s daily service out of Madrid.
Peru Lima The capital of Peru is located on the Pacific coast, making it an ideal jumping off point for trade with the burgeoning Asian markets. The country’s financial centre, Lima also spearheads industrial development, the most relevant sectors including textiles, food, chemicals, fish, leather and the manufacture and processing of oil derivatives. Free-market policies have stimulated exports and attracted inward investment. Again, there are no direct flights from the UK
to Lima. The alternatives are connecting with KLM’s daily service from Schiphol; Iberia’s 13 services a week out of Madrid; or Air Europa’s four flights a week, also from Madrid.
Venezuela Caracas Located on a coastal mountain range in northeastern South America, the Venezuelan capital has an economy dominated by the oil and gas sectors. These are controlled by Petroleos de Venezuela, the city and country’s largest company. Alongside this major player on the global stage, small and medium-size industries contribute to wealth generation, among them chemicals, textiles, leather, food, iron, and rubber manufacturers. Air Europa serves Caracas five times a week
from London Gatwick via Madrid. Air France flies from Paris CDG, and Iberia from Madrid, both with a daily frequency, and Lufthansa operates from Frankfurt three times a week.
