SAGSE Central America & Caribbean 2026
SAGSE Panama positions itself as a regional events hub and offers exclusive benefits with Copa Airlines
June 3, 2026, at the Sortis Hotel Casino
As part of SAGSE Central America & Caribbean 2026, the organization announced a strategic agreement with Copa Airlines that not only facilitates access to the event but also reinforces Panama’s positioning as a natural hub for business, connectivity, and events in Latin America.
Under this agreement, attendees will be able to access an exclusive benefit of up to 15% off airfare by using the promotional code C9758, valid for travel between May 29 and June 9, 2026 on flights operated by the airline.
This incentive aligns with a growing trend: Panama is no longer just a final destination, but a strategic point within the regional business travel itinerary.
Panama: from technical stopover to experience hub
The announcement comes alongside the growth of the Panama Stopover program, which allows connecting passengers to turn a layover into a stay at no additional airfare cost.
Starting in 2026, this program has extended its duration from 7 to 15 days, allowing travelers to prolong their stay in the country and integrate it as an active part of their agenda.
The impact is tangible: in 2025, more than 215,000 passengers used this scheme, with 25% year-over-year growth, and projections aiming to surpass 250,000 visitors in 2026.
This model turns Panama into more than just a connection point:
👉 it transforms it into a “business stopover” within the regional circuit.
SAGSE Panama: the meeting point along the LATAM gaming route
In this context, SAGSE Panama positions itself as a strategic stop within the industry’s international calendar, where operators, regulators, and suppliers can easily integrate it into their travel routes across the Americas.
The event, which will take place on June 3 at the Sortis Hotel Casino, is presented under a new format focused on Executive Summit + Business Hub, prioritizing high-level meetings, effective networking, and real business generation.
Far from the traditional large-scale exhibition model, SAGSE proposes a more efficient experience:
less volume, more decision-making.
Benefits for attendees
- Up to 15% discount on flights with Copa Airlines (code C9758)
- Access to a network of destinations across the continent
- Ability to integrate Panama as a strategic stopover within the trip
- Participation in a high-level environment focused on business and regulation
The discount applies to airfare (excluding A, D & R promotional fares) and does not include taxes or additional services.
In the coming days, the code will be available for direct use on the Copa Airlines website, although it can currently be processed through call centers or commercial offices.
A new positioning: Panama as an events hub
With this initiative, SAGSE not only boosts attendance but also aligns with a broader trend:
Panama as a regional platform where connectivity, tourism, and business converge.
Within this landscape, SAGSE consolidates its role as one of the key stops along the industry’s journey.
