This article has been the result of research regarding the use of the facilities that housed, until 1999, the North American military bases in Panama, known as “Forts”, many of which have their buildings in a “touristic disuse”, when in reality they are sxploitable as a national historical heritage, which could become a tourist destination through duly proposed cultural itineraries. Sadly, none of these facilities have been classified as "Historical Heritage" by any Panamanian law. Most of the content of this article shows the summarized history of each of these military bases that were located in the now extinct “Panama Canal Zone”. The present status of these buildings will be explained, as well as some initiatives proposed for their tourist exploitation, and how to generate tourist income with the proper exploitation of these precious historical resources.
