Transport Net

A nation; rich in tourism products, agri-business with some light manufacturing and extractive industries, must design and implement transportation policies that bring the highest levels of efficiencies to the movement of its people and, as a targeted consequence, its national productivity. Imagine no waiting around, a known fixed journey time at an affordable cost, it is possible with a little common sense and abandoning individual egos for the greater good, transport whenever it is needed, scheduling to save time, and standardization to reduce operating cost. The ideal is and requires local zoning policies; properly marked, changed and policed by regional local government bodies; industrial, commercial and residential, with privately owned vehicles not allowed on designated routes at peak times, special rules for cargo vehicles and using small, medium and large capacity vehicles for public travel in zoned areas.

Tourism Properties

Mature nations should leave Tourism Management to the private sector, while preserving public spaces as tourist attractions. This would under normal conditions require a sound Strategic Plan, a large initial investment in facility design, construction, and contracting a suitable operator, with financial projections incorporating routine maintenance and timely infrastructural upgrades. But it also requires, at the very least, a Government intervention every five years, such as the hosting of a global or regional conference with high profile attendees, international media coverage and catering for guest numbers of twice times the nations room stock. The intention being to positively advertise the location and its facilities cheaply or for free, earn profits to offset past or future construction cost, but mainly to stress capacities over its limits, to measure, gauge and improve supporting services.

Trust the Data

Data generating information and leading to intelligence coming out of the nation's Auditor General Office, Central Statistical Office and Central Bank, which is used to formulate ecological, social and economic development strategies, make knowledge based decisions and set implementation timelines, must be trusted by all groups of the society. Groups intended to distribute profits to its single or many owners via dividend payouts, so called (Profit-Sharing) private or public companies. Groups organized to keep profits for its future operations, so called Non-Profits or (Profit-Retaining). Groups that negotiate for working conditions, via individual or collective bargaining, so called Workers' Unions. Noting that, all such groups are and must be Profit-Making, as it is such profits that offer that crucially needed continuance, for Business must generate growth to paid salaries, taxes and continue, Unions must protect jobs and fair trade, and Government must balance its budget to improve living standards and protect the nation's most vulnerable.

Budgetary Forecasting

An independent office of budgets can forecast the executive’s plans and priorities without undue influence being placed on the figures. All development plans and request for increases in administrative funds from local or national and every branch of Government is cost by this office and reflects the projected revenues and of course, the earnings surplus or deficit. This office of budgets is not responsible for the calls (the types of projects or the salary increases) or the earnings (the taxes charged or collected). The job is to publicly report how the executive branch policies would affect the public purse, 1-5 years, and going forward.
