WTCGP Trade Mission to Panama, Costa Rica and Guatemala - September 17-23, 2006

From September 17-23, 2006, WTCGP conducted a very successful trade mission to Panama, Costa Rica and Guatemala. A total of ten companies participated in this intensive six-day trade mission organized under the auspices of our Latin American Trade Development Program. Representatives of seven local companies joined the WTCGP, and three other Pennsylvania companies, who were not able to attend, took advantage of the special WTCGP offer to have our highly-experienced staff represent them at one-on-one business meetings. The participating companies were able not only to meet potential clients but also gain an understanding of the cultures and business practices of these countries. Some of the highlights were a VIP tour of the Panama Canal, a visit to the Panama Free Trade Zone and a wonderful folklore presentation in Costa Rica.
