2. What economic or political forces encourage international investment (financing, creation of infrastructure, other government incentives)?
3. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 5 (one being not at all friendly, 5 being extremely friendly), how tourism and hotel development friendly is your country of choice?Please give a reason for you answer.
