Powering Panama's National Kosher Tourism Initiative

A Strategic Partnership Proposal by Go Beyond & Copa Airlines

The Vision: A Unified National Platform

This proposal builds the central engine for the government's entire kosher tourism strategy, creating a seamless experience for travelers and unlocking measurable growth for Panama. Copa, with its Hub of the Americas, is the ideal airline partner to make this vision a reality.

By automating MICE/Group bookings and reducing call center overhead.

The Flawed Present: Why the Current Model Fails

The current reliance on MICE and group bookings is operationally inefficient and strategically blind, preventing growth and proper planning.

Operational Inefficiency

  • βœ–
    High Manual Overhead: Each booking requires significant work from sales desks and call centers.
  • βœ–
    Poor Customer Experience: The process is complex, and critical functions like seat selection or check-in kiosk access often fail.
  • βœ–
    Inefficient Discounting: Discounts are applied to the most labor-intensive sales process.

Strategic Blindness

  • βœ–
    Invisible Data: MICE/Group sales do not appear in productivity reports, hiding the true market size.
  • βœ–
    No Forecasting: The current model prevents Copa from planning for this market's demand.
  • βœ–
    Blocked Government Support: Without measurable data, strategic government investment is impossible.

A New Paradigm: From Reactive Sales to Strategic Planning

Current State: Reactive

Copa currently reacts to last-minute, unpredictable group requests with no visibility into future demand, making it impossible to plan capacity or schedules effectively for this segment.

Future State: Proactive Partnership

Go Beyond provides booking commitments **up to 3 years in advance**. Pre-selling seats for high-demand Jewish travel dates allows Copa to **optimize aircraft scheduling** and guarantee revenue long before departure.

This transforms unpredictable group travel into a predictable, high-yield revenue stream.
