Document Summary

Preamble: many share the belief that working with any community it requires a historical perspective and systematic understand of the community as a whole. The author uses a systematic and quantified approach. Swings & roundabouts: before the 50s, only the modest hotels and cruises and businesses were in operation. They began to scope possibilities for a new hotel which became known as the tourist strip with the sun and sea theme and gambling in order to offset layoffs. Question of style: the rationale for adopting the casino hotel as the foundation for touring in. Aruba has argued that it would bring more of a diverse visitor to the island: based on the figure, these hotels tend to be the most desirable along with pre-paid luxury hotels and timeshare. Population pump: like most small areas, aruba"s economy growth is driven by events elsewhere in the world. Limiting its carrying capacity would help some of these burdens.
