As regards 'world class destination' I think people are talking about holiday - not living here, so although I agree with you about the schools and traffic (and would add water supply, electric overhanging cables, sewerage and roads), that's not the type of consideration a travel agent would think about when assessing the holiday destination and giving HH the tag 'world class destination'. These things you mention become much more important when considering living here if you have children. Retirees are the main people buying here and normally don't have children coming with them (unless to visit).buksida wrote:I think a few people here are wearing their rose tinted glasses here if they think HH is a world class destination.
As said above, no international school, no decent hospital (although one is currently under construction and due for completion in 2078), traffic problems that are escalating by the day and a surplus of property. However I do still like the place!
The concerns were more about the political and economic future of the country and its impacts on the foreigners that decide to live and invest here. A subject that gets repeatedly brushed aside by people that have a vested interest in real estate.
As for the political concerns and economic future of the country - I really don't see too many tourists worrying about that too much. In my opinion, they see Starbucks and Tesco's so think the country must be OK to invest in.
