Rewards through risk: giving the market a chance

Article Abstract:

The American-Cambodian Business Council is firm in its belief that Cambodia is ripe for foreign investments. Council director Bretton Sciaroni advised US businessmen that the rewards in Cambodia outweigh the risk, especially in the garment, textile, agriculture and tourist sectors. Cambodia's 10.5 mil population is a big potential market and labor is inexpensive in the country. Businesses complain that Cambodia's stumbling block for foreign investments is its political climate and the lack of a legal framework that is in line with the region's economic grouping, the ASEAN.

Article Abstract:

The US' decision to withdraw its military presence from Asia is seen to affect the sale of American products and services to the region. This is because consumer products sold in US commissaries overseas invariably gain the attention of local markets, largely due to the free advertising they receive. This is amply illustrated by the experience of Coca-Cola in the region during World War II, where it built a large following after it supplied Coke to US armed forces deployed there.

Article Abstract:

Visa procedures in many countries in the Asia-Pacific region has been eased by the introduction of computerized record-keeping. Australia has implemented its electronic travel authority (ETA) which enables a traveler to get visa approval in a small amount of time. Australia plans to extend its ETA program to include South Korea and the Philippines. Asian countries have become particularly receptive to faster visa processing since the growth of their tourism industry.
