          La atracci\u00f3n principal para jubilarse en Panama, sin importar si usted escoge vivir en ciudad, en la monta\u00f1a o en la playa, es que nunca estar\u00e1 lejos de las muchas amenidades y servicios disponibles que realzan la calidad de su jubilaci\u00f3n, por lo que destacamos que Panama tiene facilidades m\u00e9dicas de la misma calidad de los pa\u00edses desarrollados, el costo de vida es solo una fracci\u00f3n de los Estados Unidos y Europa, los extranjeros pueden comprar y ser due\u00f1os de propiedades con los mismos derechos y protecciones que tienen los mismos nacionales; sin mencionar que son varias las nacionalidades que aqu\u00ed conviven pac\u00edficamente, por lo que hay una gran diversidad de culturas y religiones.<\/p>\n

          Adicionalmente, Panam\u00e1 tiene el mejor sistema de incentivos para jubilados en el mundo, provey\u00e9ndoles el acceso a innumerables descuentos, entre los cuales destacan: (i) Importaci\u00f3n de todos los art\u00edculos personales y del hogar y hasta un autom\u00f3vil, todo libre de impuestos; (ii) 50% de descuento en gastos de cierre para pr\u00e9stamos de vivienda; (iii) 25% de descuento en pasajes a\u00e9reos para vuelos internos o internacionales; (iv) 50% de descuento en entretenimiento, incluyendo el cine, conciertos, obras de teatro; (v) 25% de descuento en restaurantes y 15% de descuento en restaurantes de comida r\u00e1pida; (vi) 50% de descuento en habitaciones de hotel de Lunes a Jueves y 30% de Viernes a Domingo; (vii) 30% de descuento en tarifas de bus, barco o tren; (viii) 10% de descuento en medicamentos con prescripci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica; (ix) 15% de descuento en ex\u00e1menes de la vista y dentales; (x) 15% de descuento en facturas de hospital (si no aplica un seguro); (xi) 20% de descuento en consulta con doctores y (xii) 20% de descuento en servicios t\u00e9cnicos y profesionales.<\/p>\n
