Because of the areaâs growing tourism, Chiriquà has seen vast improvement of physical, economic, and social infrastructures in the region in recent years. Roads are being improved, new high quality health care facilities being built, and major retailers are coming to the area. Much of this activity is centered in David; improvements include David's airport, Enrique Malek International Airport, whose incipient acceptance of direct international flights should mark the tipping point for the area in terms of tourism and development.
