Great vision Mr. Magoo!!!


Sometimes appear in the news realities that really puzzle me. This is the fiction story of an airport who nobody wants, reconverted in tour operator shuttle base camp and finally sold to some private investors.
The other day I was listening to the news. They were talking about an airport. When they finished I took out all the superficial and this was the final result:
First - Building an airport nobody asked for it. When the airport is in the red they suddenly are looking for a business plan.
Second - The business plan? The usual thought... tourism at rescue!!! Mass or specialised? Are you kidding? Mass of course! Let’s top up our mountains with a lot of tourist!
Make a deal with big tour operators! For instance, from England and Russia. Let them keep 70% of margin and, under no circumstances, try to focus on create travel agencies run by local Touristologists in order to create employee for young people and services which add value!
Third - When the airport gives profits sell it to a private investor. This is the last twist! It seems that they are doing us a favour!!!
Let’s reckoning...
1) Bad tourism model.
2) Most of the revenues for foreign enterprises
3) Socialise losses and privatised profits
Who creates this kind of game?  What I don’t understand is the reason these kinds of things are financed with public money.
You know we are lucky to live in one of the countries leader in tourism knowledge where these kinds of stories are not possible. Otherwise we could end up as a sort of Marx’s Crowded Cabin!!!!
