Foreign Capital Investment
Investment in tourism and transport plant (eg airports, roads, railways, and hotels etc) can be very expensive, and may require foreign investment. However, profits will almost inevitably leak out, in such cases, to investors in investing countries. Indeed, many investors will not wish to invest in any less developed tourist-receiving countries unless - quite understandably - they can be sure they can redeem their profits in, or sell their business there for, hard currency.
