Anne Warnke Chapter 13 Question 7

Reading this chapter was helpful to me understanding my recent vacation as I traveled on a cruise to tropical locations far from perfect in terms of development. My parents were shocked to see this, though I knew it was coming, but there were tons of times we would be driving through a city, Rotan, or Belize city, and you could see how much the country was struggling to keep up with the modern world. While you can give due to these cities geography as part o the reason globalization has been harder for the country, I would also contest the tourism of richer countries is also a positive and negative to the globalization of third world countries. One part, the cruise lines and hotels bring in foreign economies into the mix, and bring a need to renovate and update the cities in order to bring in tourist. This can benefit the countries, but as more tourist come and the entire system becomes on serving tourist, money gets spent toward improving tourist hotspots rather than actually helping the country.
