In the current conditions that the citizens of the world live in, where the pandemic, the imminent war, and world conflicts, lead us to seek new options for tourism, investment and work in unconventional nations, it is necessary to turn on our global radar to look for alternatives not previously thought of.
It is important to try to include in our radar of preferences, whether for tourism or employment abroad, nations that in the last decade have had a vertiginous growth not only economically, but also socially and in terms of stability.
On the African continent, countries that were facing genocide in the 1990s are today examples of progress and order. The specific case is Rwanda, which in 1993 faced an ethnic war where many pointed out that it would be the decline of another nation in that continent. It has a vanguard government where foreign capital is invited to invest and settle there.
Rwanda, has an open tourism and where they are pioneers in the African continent in the conservation of the environment and in the prohibition of the use of plastics.
At the same time, Botswana, located in the south of the African continent, enjoys a healthy economy, where even its corruption rates have decreased, being the envy of its neighbors.
In other latitudes, we have the CIVETS, Colombia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa, countries that are growing at an accelerated rate, tempting investors from developed countries to invest in the pharmaceutical, mining and tourism industries.
Finally, Estonia, a former member of the Soviet Union, which enjoys a GDP per capita of almost $26,000 USD, is a magnet for global citizens who wish to get involved in technological ventures. Estonia is currently a leader in what is known as e-government, i.e. the ease of locating any government process on the web, with easy access. It is definitely a destination we should put on our personal radar to try to explore new frontiers and new adventures.
