The coronavirus has changed the way we travel, at least in the next few years. Future travelers are going to be seeking different types of vacations, mainly in rural areas as opposed to large city destinations.
Bocas del Toro is a great place to visit since this destination is rural, small, offering more opened up accommodations and small hotels, family run bed and breakfasts, and beachfront Airbnb style vacation rentals.
People are going to want privacy and a destination where families, couples, or even single travelers can do their own thing without all the crowd. Destinations that are open like beaches, islands, and mountain areas are going to do a lot better in the near future as opposed to larger, congested cities.
Travelers are going to be choosing smaller more private accommodations as well. Resort chains and large hotels are going to have problems in the near future, but smaller accommodations will do better as people seek more private, secluded experiences.
Today I have come up with 3 different turnkey properties that we believe could thrive post Covid-19 in Bocas del Toro, Panama. All three properties offer unique locations, experiences that can be enjoyed without the crowds, and most importantly available for sale.
