Frankly, I'm surprised it has held steady for such along time.
The spending by the gov't hasn't helped it any at all and from what I can see, investments are dropping significantly in all arenas.
Tourism went like gangbusters for a while, but has leveled off since the explosion in oil prices and the consequential cancellation of flights by American and other airlines.
Methinks the "tourism bubble" has run it's course for now.
What is needed now is investment in hard manufacturing jobs instead of so many pipedreams.
I think we'll see those if the electricity problem is ever solved and plentiful. The population is screaming for some form of employment to beat down the flooding river.
