I know what you have said is true, and I can't believe for the life of me why the resorts would'nt encourage the guests to go out for a look see....you'd think they would be considering the money they would save when the tourists go out and have a few drinks elsewhere,also when out they would probably have a quick bite to eat....therefore haveing to put out less food and going through less booze. I don't understand why the AI don't incourage this type of activity? Does anyone have a explanation? I know that they might be afraid of the tourist finding out that a Safari, or some Deep Sea fishing might be had for less outside the "gates" and the safety of the guests is almost guarenteed inside.....but does this outweigh the pluses or savings? Is there other angles....I'm sure that there is, I just have'nt put much thought into it!
