Business, Gateway, Local

David, the capital of Chiriquí Province, serves as Panama’s western commercial hub and a crucial junction for cross-border logistics and business travel. Though not as scenic as its highland neighbours, David offers unmatched convenience, solid infrastructure, and a gateway location just 40 minutes from the Costa Rican border. With a vibrant mix of commerce, agriculture, and education, the city is well-suited for regional conferences, training workshops, and agro-industrial expos.

Leading venues such as Hotel Ciudad de David, Gran Hotel Nacional, and the Federal Mall Convention Centre offer extensive facilities for business functions, trade fairs, and government meetings. These venues are equipped with modern AV systems, breakout rooms, and business services, making them ideal for groups requiring professionalism and accessibility.

Enrique Malek International Airport, located just outside the city centre, connects David to Panama City and seasonal flights from other regional destinations. This airport access, coupled with a growing number of mid-range hotels and restaurants, gives planners a practical alternative to the capital.

Cultural excursions to the Museo de Historia y Arte José de Obaldía, artisan markets, or culinary tours featuring highland produce provide engaging add-ons to business-focused itineraries. Meanwhile, the city’s proximity to Boquete, Volcán, and La Barqueta Beach allows easy integration of leisure or incentive options.

For those seeking a connected yet grounded venue, David delivers versatility with a distinctly Panamanian flavour—pragmatic, regional, and rooted in local energy.
