Or perhaps the below could help ? :thumbdown:

"Do you dream of a lifestyle where you are your own boss?
Where the quality of your life has become more important than
the jobs you do?"


A new TV series from Freeform Productions, the makers of A Place
in the Sun, can help you achieve these dreams and find the perfect overseas business for you.

We are looking for couples and families who are serious and ready to relocate from the UK in the next 6 months, ideally to a European

love to hear from you) and start or buy a business.

The show, presented by A Place in the Sun: Home or Away's Jonnie Irwin will help you find the ideal business opportunity overseas and
give you practical help and advice and on how to make a successful
move. The type of business is not important, we will also help seek
out the perfect franchise opportunity overseas.

What Foreign Tourists, Noni?

Unless they get their act together with respect to garbage disposal, overall cleanliness, infrastructure, VISAS - why should foreign tourists even bother coming to a country where we are so obviously not wanted, apart from our money, that is.

Yet the Indians squeal loud and clear when other countries make slight changes to their visa rules.

I only hope that David Cameron is fully briefed on the situation here when he visits India later this month.

Totally agree with you, they still have their heads in the clouds.:rolleyes:

Iain hopes our PM is aware of the situation here. Does he mean OUR situation?If so, the answer is no. Does anyone here believe for one minute that the Brit government gives a damn for us. Any feedback from the meeting with HBMHC?

Cameron bets future on India's meteoric rise

As the coalition Government prepares a Cabinet-led trade delegation to the sub-continent, the country's position as priority number one is clear.

By James Hall

......."Doing business in India is all about the relationship. If the relationship does not exist then you don't get past the first base," says the businessman......

.....The key to India's continued growth will be its vastly expanding urban middle-class with a growing appetite for Western goods and money to spare. Between 2005 and 2025, average household disposable incomes are set to treble to 318,896 Rupees (£4,500), a compound annual growth rate of 5.3pc. Its population of 1.2bn is around twenty times the UK's size.

....Despite the abundance of opportunities, numerous barriers remain to doing business in India. Talking up the relationship is one thing, but making it happen is something else entirely.

India's infrastructure is famously creaky, but the main barrier is bureaucratic. Numerous sectors in India are still restricted to foreign operators, particularly the banking, insurance, retail and legal services industries.

"There are huge frustrations for UK companies", says Gomes, "particularly since the UK has no restrictions in return. This features in any ministerial meeting," he says.

The rules governing foreign companies in India vary from sector to sector. For example, UK law firms cannot set up in India. Rather, they have to engage a local law firm to work for them. Observers argue that this is because legal institutions in India are run by small-town lawyers who keen to protect their trade from powerful external rivals.......

......India faces a classic development dilemma. It has to strike a balance between protecting its own interests and nurturing domestic companies, while at the same time encouraging foreign investment and competing on a global scale.......

...... A further challenge is in India's demographics. Although its urban middle-class is growing, over 70pc of the population live in rural areas and are involved in agriculture. Many are illiterate......."

Hike in tourist arrivals despite claims of a bad season

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

The article goes on to quote a shack owner saying it was a bad season despite the high number of tourists because lots of them were low spending Russions. Maybe the new tourism minister will realise that it's the high spending British tourists they need and make us more welcome. Some hope!
