Panama's consumer protection authority, LaAcodeco, has warned the public about a new entertainment project linked to the organizer of the recent 'Snowland' scandal. The sanction was based on misleading advertising for the 'Snowland, Panama's first snow park' event, which was found to be false during a technical verification. These actions were carried out under the framework of Law 45 of October 31, 2007, which regulates consumer protection and competition defense. The Snowland case led to complaints about advertising that did not match the actual experience offered to attendees, prompting direct intervention by the authority. In light of the new project, the entity urges the public to act with caution before making payments or reservations. To prevent financial harm, the institution recommends: verifying the legal identity and business history of the organizer; requesting written information on conditions, dates, venue, and refund policies; confirming the existence of official permits before paying; avoiding transfers to personal accounts without solid contractual backing; and keeping all payment receipts and transaction communications. The authority remains vigilant to prevent harmful practices and calls on citizens to file complaints through official channels.
