There are large economic consequences on the economy of Bali. One significant impact on Bali is the foreign exchange earnings. Tourism is the fourth-largest income earner for Indonesia at around US 5.5 billion (2003).

I think Santos response to the city council was the best approach he could take in the matter. He took responsibility for the problems that had been brewing, leading up to the revelation of the $2 million deficit. Santos was appointed to bring a solution to the problems that loomed at Permit and Inspection Services Department (PISD). More specifically, the “urgent service and operations problems laid out by the mayor during [Santos’] interview ...” (Brock, 2004a, p. 2).

This research paper will provide an analysis and evaluation of the effects that wars leave on business. Examples of these include embassies that prohibit their citizens to visit those countries in war. If these countries at war base their economy in tourism this will result them to not be economically stable since there is a ban in visiting their countries. Since there is no tourism and no business to survive on, the citizens of these countries may resort to drug business to feed themselves.

The purpose of this paper is to persuade and demonstrate that ongoing Military engagements are direct contributors to the peace, economy and political stability throughout Southeast Asia.

In 2016 the Costa del Sol broke tourism records pulling in more than five million guests and seeing record quantities of overnight hotel remains which contained 75 percent of international visitors. (Adam Neale, 2016) During the summer 2017 period, the hotels occupancy rates in Costa de Sol reached 83.57%. Due to the rapid growth in the number of golf courses associated with hotels, resorts, the local society had gained advantages such as: increasing in employment and income benefits (both direct and indirect), the climb of taxes to local and governments, attracting more investment from abroad to the area, raising the local life quality, increasing local poverty values and also bringing better education, health and social benefits. For instance, foreign tourism boosted up half of Málaga’s economy in 2016 by rose the GDP to 26.8 percent. (CAPD, 2016) In Málaga today, the tourism and service industries are the fundamental part of

Compromising peace agreements between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) may lead to betrayal. Betrayal, in a sense that the ruling president, which is President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, might put the Bangsamoro people’s life in danger.

We all know that Marawi war made all things in the Philippines conflicted, if not all but some of them are not in a right condition. It has the impact on the business; some of the investors changed their mind in investing into their company because of Marawi crisis. According to Mindanao Business Chair Vicente T. Lao, “the ongoing fighting in Marawin City between the government soldiers and the Maute Group that has already spanned more than a month will affect the investors’ confidence on on Mindanao”. Also Lao has a trust in the government and he thinks that the government will go in to help victims by giving them relief goods and renovating Marawi.

Tourism is the world’s largest and fastest growing industry and can be defined as the totality of the relationship and phenomenon arising from travel and education purposes of people, provided the stay does not imply the establishment of a permanent residence and is not connected with remunerated activity. While it may boost a country’s economy, doubts about the overall benefits of tourism are reinforced by the belief that tourism brings adverse social and cultural effects. As an industry, it may be have several impacts on a country, both good and bad.

The most crucial component of national security – the military-defense and law enforcement establishment – is potentially also one of its most troublesome. For years these two have buttressed the State in its times of tumult; from the first EDSA Revolution during the fall of the Marcos dictatorship, to contending military and police forces facing each other in several coups in the 1980’s under Cory Aquino, military intervention presaging the downfall of Joseph Estrada, and even the attempts at military and national reform in 2003 instigated by junior officers calling themselves Magdalo along with tensions in the 2006 Marine standoff and the 2007 Peninsula Manila siege; all of these have seen the dual nature of the military and police’s influence on Philippine society.

As far as we are concerned, unlike other Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and others, Thailand military forces portrayed a significant concern pertaining to internal turbulence within Thailand. (Simon, 2000, p. 13) This is because, for several decades, since communist aggression and until todays, internal security has become the main core focus of Thailand military forces in the aspects of defence and security of Thailand (Taylor, 2013, p. 12); compared to other aspects such as external defence. Before discussing or deliberating the roles of Thailand military forces in internal security, it is better for us to understand the definition of internal security because it might raise confusion as it both aspects are associated closely with the national interest of a country. As coined by the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste National Parliament (2003), internal security is defined as an activity or program advanced by the State (Government) with the aims to guarantee order, security and public peacefulness, to safeguards people and goods, to prevent law-breaking and contribute to guarantee the normal functioning of the democratic institutions. Through this clear definition, it is clear that external security and internal security are different with each other. In Thailand, the military undertook a crucial role of internal security pertaining to the Burmese refugees and insurgency in the southernmost of Thailand insurgency by the Malay-Muslim insurgent. (Taylor,

A week after the release of the ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration regarding the issue in the West Philippine Sea, the verdict had drawn both hope and frustration to Filipinos dreaming for the occupation in the disputed islands. Hope in the sense that the unanimous vote in the tribunal can be used as an essential chip in dealing with China and it can be a game-changer for the successfulness of their aspiration. At the same time, it also brought frustrations to Filipinos, after President Xi Jinping asserted that, “China’s territorial sovereignty and marine rights in the seas will not be affected by the ruling”, according to The Guardian, 2016. Moreover, the column also reported the statement from the Chinese Government insisting that “Chinese people firmly oppose the ruling and will neither acknowledge it nor accept it”. These strong statements from China imply their rogueness with regard to this issue. These are proclamations of them prolonging the bullying to the Philippines in the form of deprivation.

Accordig to Ledesma, J. (2017, June 07), the urban war in Marawi defines the finest moment of Muslims and Christians ties and brotherhood in the face of a ruthless aggressor that wrecked the erstwhile pristine and quiet Islamic City in the Philippines. Amidst the burst of deafening gun fires, devastations, stink of unknown corpses and threats of death by execution carried out in the most gruesome and barbaric rituals emerged a kinship among the victims helping each other survive the atrocities of an insane carnage. The Mautes are compelled to mount the assault by foreign terrorists identified with Isis and stimulated by drugs, this according to President Rodrigo Duterte. And here lies another shining moment among Filipinos: that in the

The supports from the Malaysia's government for tourism industry become one of the powerful strength for this industry. According to Hamzah (2008), tourism industry gives second highest contributor after Manufacturing industry.
