I talked about the quality of life in the sense of the co-relationship between the quality of a service sector and how it can improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector. And then I went one step further to have us think also, as we step back and look at our country, that the quality of services is also directly tied to the quality of life that one citizen or one country has. The more developed your services are, I think the far superior the quality of life, whether you talk about telecommunications, whether you talk about financial services, or whether it's in the delivery of health-related services.
For example, one of the biggest service areas they are finding in developing countries is in the whole tourism and travel area. I think tourism is about 35% of developing countries' services markets because of the great tourism.
What they're now finding is that telecommunications in how you market your tourism and financial services in terms of currency exchanges are obviously complementary services that create a stronger and more aggressive travel and tourism sector. And as you develop that as part of your economic jewel in the crown, it obviously raises the whole level of foreign investment going into that country, and hopefully those economic boats in the various harbours of that country will rise.
So I think the quality of people's lives are directly or indirectly manifested by the kinds of services that facilitate that life from Monday to Sunday.
