Description
Hello Workawayers!
My name is Davis, and I am a proud native of the beautiful Archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama. I come from a family with over 50 years of experience in the tourism and hospitality industry, which has inspired my passion for promoting sustainable tourism and preserving our natural environment.
I hold a Master's degree in Political Science and Business Administration, along with three diplomas in Senior Management, Political Consulting, and Development of Tourism Projects. My professional journey has included roles such as Secretary of Tourism for Panama, where I contributed to the Tourism Master Plan 2007-2020, and I’ve held leadership positions in various hotels throughout Central America.
Currently, I am the CEO and Co-Founder of a company dedicated to providing unique aquatic experiences in our stunning archipelago. We specialize in activities such as snorkeling, transparent boat tours, island excursions, and marine wildlife watching. Our mission is to educate visitors on the importance of preserving the marine environment while enjoying the beauty of our region.
I am actively seeking volunteers to assist me with processes and policies, as well as training my staff in customer service and English language skills, focusing on their professional growth and career development. Your support can help us enhance our services and provide an even better experience for our visitors.
I am excited to connect with passionate Workawayers who share an interest in sustainability, environmental conservation, and cultural exchange. Together, we can make a positive impact in our beautiful region while creating unforgettable memories.
Looking forward to meeting you!
