SURINAME South America’s best kept secret, but not for long DOWNLOAD THE REPORT Foreign Policy Devoted to the coverage of global affairs

A new energy giant is born

A major offshore oil development led by TotalEnergies and APA Corporation is set to significantly expand energy production in Suriname.

Expanding digital and physical connectivity

Suriname is improving its business environment and international connectivity to support economic growth and investment.

Agribusiness and the bio economy

Suriname is expanding agriculture—especially livestock and key crops—to diversify its economy and reduce reliance on oil revenues.

Tourism and eco-adventure travel

Tourism and eco-tourism in Suriname have strong potential, driven by the nearby Amazon Rainforest, the historic center of Paramaribo—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and culturally diverse heritage sites such as Jodensavanne.

“Our goal is to position Suriname globally as a nature destination, similar to Costa Rica, while protecting the ecosystem. For example, we would not support large-scale hotel construction in the hinterland. Any development must fit the environment and remain sustainable.”

Egon von Foidl, Chairman of the Suriname Hospitality and Tourism Association (SHATA)
