Max Hobrough Chapter 13, Question 6

In this chapter starting on page 461Charles Wheelan brings up the Geographical location of the countries that struggle and how their climate can push a good long term economy away. It was very interesting to hear how he said that tropical weather is meant for vacation and not for long term stay. The idea of this is actually very true, even when I was in the Cayman Islands I could see this happening. The whole economy seemed to be built on tourism a lot like certain areas of Mexico, this economy could be closed up and shut down in one day if those tourists stop coming. This is the issue with these markets, they are set up for temporary sucess because nobody can stay there for a long period of time due to the way that there is not a good medical system. I have also noticed that when ever I go to a popular tourist city I never really ever see medical buildings or hospitals. This raises the issue on the conditions on how people are living, I saw this especially in Mexico. When I was in Capetown, South Africa it actually not just built on tourism but rather it actually had its own industries that could sustain the population of the people. So there needs to be a major investment in healthcare in these towns to make these economies more stable.
