Most people who select Panama as a leisure travel destination do so for the same reason they travel to Costa Rica (although far more people go there) - to "get away from it all" and retreat from the urban rat race; to relax with maitais at pristine beaches. Some do so for outdoor adventures like mountain climbing and water rafting, still others to sail through the Panama Canal.
Due to it's (Colon) duty free zone, international banking center, construction and real estate industry, Panama also attracts the business traveler. But the last reason most people travel to Panama for is the first reason I do - Panama City (the same reason I go to Vegas or Manhattan) to absorb the urban atmosphere and night life.
