I agree with PRC. In any freshly developing area the business environment is bound to be "protectionist" with many unidentifiable "barriers to entry". That said, the reason why I put the barriers in quotations is because it's not really the same barriers that you find in MBA case studies such as Nestle trying to enter a market where there are established confectionary companies.

It's more, like PRC said, navigating and adeptly learning the local environment and injecting outside expertise, an advantage few locals have, to build a profitable business. Any who, ideas are just ideas. Tons of people of tons of million dollar ideas. Only the very few who have the guts and the real know-how will profit from them. I'm a big supporter for sharing ideas, even my own. Because if someone else can do it better or just tries to do it and succeeds over your own efforts, whether it is just idea squatting or failing to execute, he deserves the penny and you don't. Not saying you can't learn from it and try again...

Either way, as the airport opens up and more media coverage spreads these select enterprising individuals, both local and international, will flock here and take over. So gather your beans and have them in order bc if you want to be a successful entrepreneur here you better be on your game!

Here's a thought for aspiring entrepreneurs. Office / home food delivery made with the organic vegetables available at Salvadors. The pesticide use on Chinese food stuffs is alarming.
