Cynicism in Philippine reform hinders Marcos drive
Foreign analyst notes Marcos faces deep cynicism toward government that stalls reform. Despite early anti-smuggling gains and high hopes, poverty, unemployment, and inflation strain support.

Foreign Travel Costs Forty Billion Annually Worldwide
A United Nations Economic and Social Council report shows international tourism consumes about 8 percent of family expenditures in some nations and totals $40 billion yearly. Americans spend roughly $11 per person annually on foreign travel, far below several European peers, with per capita spends rising to $29 in Canada and Switzerland and $24 in Belgium. The study notes low government response to the questionnaire and highlights tourism growth as a mass phenomenon in high living standards countries, increasing about 15 percent per year. It also notes about $9 billion of the $40 billion is spent on international travel, with the rest on domestic tourism, plus transport costs.
