The market for has tourism changed in the last 15 years or - fewer travelers spending more money. Ecotourism on the rise as well - a different market dynamic evolving.
I see our area as an attractive area that can generate more tourist revenue if:
There is local consensus as to that is what we want - it would change the face of this quiet idyllic setting - very little of that left in the world - or US
And:
There is a will to invest some huge money in upscale world class resorts and an huge commitment to spending marketing / hotel subsidy /tax breaks dollars out of our tax base (to compete with places like costa rica )
first result of the rise in lava levels - more helicopters this morning - case in point
just my two cents
