Chiriqui Province stands out for its fertile land for\nagriculture, the creative and independent spirit of its people, and its high\ntourism development, there are several reasons why it is perceived by many\npeople as a different province. For this reason, Rodrigo Marciacq, is the current\nPresident of the Patronage of the Flower and Coffee Fair, borned in Chiriqui, has\nbeen linked to food production, especially the marketing of horticulture and\ntourism development throughout his life, offers The Visitor-El Visitor an\nexclusive vision of the history, current situation and future of Chiriqui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why Chiriqui’s history and its geographical\nposition make this province different from the others?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf the two land borders that Panama has, the one that\nborders Costa Rica is the only one that can be crossed by land. For the most\npart it shares this border line with the province of Chiriqui. This aspect\ncollaborates in a great way to have a commercial, tourist, agricultural\nexchange, etc…, between both countries. Which helps to promote a very\nimportant economic benefit between both regions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which cultural elements represents the character\nof the people in Chiriqui?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur province has been attracted to people from many\ncountries, mainly European, in which has partially collaborated with the\ncultural development of our region. Hard work, high standards in quality, giving\nour best effort when working towards a proposed goal, all these make our province\na place where we can always expect good results. Collectively makes Chiriqui\nProvince and its inhabitants more demanding in acquired commitments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why is Chiriqui different economically from the\nrest of Panama?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Chiriqui we\nhave different economic activities, among our main economic activities are\ntourism, livestock, agriculture, coffee, etc., which together promote a general\neconomic well-being in our region. When this aspect is united, with the desire\nto always give the best effort when carrying out the activities, then it is\nperceived that the economic level of the Chiriqui region is different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Chiriqui a place where tourism is breathed\neverywhere?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChiriqui is a different and blessed place, a place\nwhere multiple and very interesting tourist activities abound. In Chiriqui we\nhave the Baru Volcano, the highest point in our country and from where you can\nsee views of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans at the same time. Chiriqui, due to\nits geographical location, is a region very rich in diversity and\nmicroclimates, this aspect is extremely interesting for nationals and foreigners\nwho visit us during the year. Our cool temperatures in the highlands, the\ntraditional and our very own Bajareque (light sprinkle), our beautiful islands\nand extensive beaches, mean that different tourist activities can be carried\nout in a short time in the province. Lots of diversity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How the Flower and Coffee Fair has contributed to\nthe promotion of tourism in Chiriqui and how can be replicated in other parts\nof Panama?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Flower and Coffee Fair is undoubtedly one of the\nmain tourist activities in our region. The level of commitment that the boards\nhave had in the last 15 years has been very important. In its two main\nactivities, the Flower Fair in January and the Orchid Expo in April, the Fair\ngrounds invite, receive and serve more than 250,000 visitors a year. This\nactivity is indisputably one of the main irrigators of economic benefits to our\nregion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each town or region has its benefits and attractions,\nin Chiriqui we know how to take advantage of these benefits, our weather,\nsuitable for different types of crops, including the multiple variety of\nflowers that are presented every year in the different events that take place.\nIn our area, they make the Fair the main place of visit for national and\nforeign tourists. Mainly, each region of our country must identify its benefits\nand attractions and, taking these aspects into account, carry out activities\nthat are attractive for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many say that the people of Chiriqui are the most\ndifficult clients in the country, is it true? How to reach the heart of the chiricano\ncustomer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI consider that the people in Chiriqui are demaning\nfirst to themselves, there is a lot of difference between difficult and\ndemanding. There is nothing wrong with always demanding better quality in\neverything. The heart of the Chiricano client is reached with quality and good\nintentions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
