and i am assigned in natural resources.. help..!

Answer 1

I've never heard of anyone flying to a tropical island to look at high rise apartments. for instance, Flint Michigan has a good infrastructure, transportation and hospitality, but would you want to spend your vacation there?

Answer 2

Each traveler might have different reasons to travel. For leisure, natural resources might mean beautifull outdoors landscapes, places to visit, etc.. For some it might be night life, casinos and such (think Las Vegas), for others museums and art exibits.

But of your list, I think all are very important.

To my personal preferences, I would rate them:

1. Hospitality
2. Infrastructure (according to what I want to do)
3. Transportation
4. Natural resources.

But it wouldn't be written in stone. I don't care if a hotel has 50 or 5,000 rooms, as long as it is well ubicated, or at least close to good public transportation, but that it is clean and feels safe.

I do mountain biking, so sometimes I would prefer a nice area with fun trails over a good hotel.
