Beyond that, the potential for additional income through activities like on site dining options, eco-tourism, nature walks, cultural gatherings, wellness retreats, local workshops and selling fresh poison- free veggies and fruits amplifies the profitability of this model, providing diverse and sustainable income streams.
Why is Paraguay a strategic location for living and investing?
In Paraguay, welcoming spirits have long embraced settlers from around the world. With unwavering family values, independence and resistance to external pressures, Paraguay stands as a beacon of resilience amidst global uncertainties, as a secure and forward-thinking destination for both settlers and investors.
Notably, Paraguay remains outside the primary axes of worldwide conflict and economic contention, such as the BRICS versus Dollar dynamics. Its independent and stable currency, the Paraguayan Guarani, further shields the country from international monetary disputes. Moreover, Paraguay’s economic credentials continue to strengthen. As of July 2024, the credit rating agency Moody’s has upgraded the country’s investment grade to Baa3 from Ba1. This change reflects the stability of the country’s economic and fiscal conditions, sustained growth in recent years and it’s commitment to moving towards a green economy.
