Historically most of Bounty Islands exports have been aimed at a few global companies, picking up Bounty Export Goods at Bounty Bay Trade Pier or South Industrial Harbor. Mondelez International, Nestle, Unilever, Danone Group, IKEA and other large companies with their own sales structure and transport systems.  But the Foreign Ministry has, over the years, also from time to time negotiated contracts directly with the receiver nations, aiming for political goodwill in combination with a good trade deal. Here is a mention of some larger deals:

Today at TV1 City: Revenue, Expenses and Tourism

In today’s program we will take a look at tourism in the latest years, but also the development in income from tourism over the latest 40 years. But first a graph with the different sectors generating revenue and expenses today, compared with back in 2024.

Yearly Balance.

What we need to consider looking at the graph below, it that Construction Cost was very high in 2024, so basically we need to add 50.000 coins to the 2024 balance, when comparing the two years. Never the less, it looks like we are out of the recession as 2038 is actually still a much better year than 2024 was. On the income side we see that there has been a major loss, clearly due to the reduction in the tobacco industry, but other sectors have filled the gap. Especially Real Estate, Finance and Tourism. The main reason for a raise in Other Income is fees from military assistance to other countries in the region, not necessarily possible most years, but not a major factor anyhow. On the expenses side the most notable different is the huge impact from a reduction in Social Costs, have to admit is makes life hard on the weakest families, but seen form a national economic angel, it was the right move to break an evil curve, combined with a temporally cut in wages. Today salaries have started to raise again, the average purchase power is actually 1,4% higher than it was in 2024.

 

Tourism since 1998

In 1998 we had Hotel & Hütten Mutter Gaia with accommodation for 24 families and Hotel America at its original location on Banana Road with accommodation for 12 families. The most important attraction was Coffee Shop and Tourist Information Tropico, taking in 1.726 coins/year. Followed by Faces of Power with 810 coins and Club Babilonia with 768 coins.

After some good years after the introduction of Hotel & Hütten Mutter Gaia a decline began after 2005, where no new accommodation was added and especially the Scandinavians, spend time elsewhere. In 2008 a motel was under construction, but not yet opened. The income from accommodation had fallen 12% since 1998, attractions fee had lost 34%. The Coffee Shop and Tourist Information Tropico, had the best revenue with 1.248 coins, closely followed by Club Babilonia (1.152 coins) Teatro De Tropico 3^rd with 360 coins.

In 2018 Bounty City Motel had added accommodation for another 8 families. But it was especially attractions that had improved the tourist revenue with 53% since 2008. In 2018 The Coffee Shop and Tourist Information Tropico, had a revenue of 2.400 coins, Club Babilonia 2.321 coins, Tequesta open Temple 1.080 coins, Museo de Arte Moderno 972 coins.  

Shark Beach Tourist Port was added and opened the possibility for Cruise Ship to anchor at Love Boat Bank with up to 12 rich families, having just a short speed boat trip to the port. The total number of tourists families able to visit at the same time was now 112.The highest revenue from attractions in 2028 was gourmet restaurant Cibaria Insulam with 2.400 coins, Leone Parque Acuárico with 1.530 coins, Coffee Shop and Tourist Information Tropico 1.344 and Museo de Arte Moderno 729 coins. All together attractions were on par with 2018, but accommodation revenue up with 71%.

Today we also got Cielo Hotel with accommodation for 14 families, The Beach Villa at Inland Sea Waterfront with room for two families and lately Santoro Golf Resort with accommodation for another 12 families. The total tourist business is up with 66% since 2028. The highest revenue from attractions the latest year have been: gourmet restaurant Cibaria Insulam and Het Wilde Varken combined 4.800 coins, Club Babilonia 3.744 coins, Coffee Shop and Tourist Information Tropico 2.208, Leone Parque Acuárico 1.275 coins and Museo de Arte Moderno 1.080 coins.

 

 

Right now, 216 tourists stays at Bounty Islands, 28 at Hotel America, 30 at the Hotel and 35 at the huts in Hotel & Hütten Mutter Gaia, 17 at Bounty City Motel, 32 at Cruise Ship M/S Martina Willems, 6 at Inland Sea Beach Villa, 17 at Cielo Hotel, 20 at Family Houses in Santoro Golf Resort and 12 at the Beach Villas at Santoro Golf Resort. 19 tourist is staying at Bounty Islands without having an official accommodation.

President Purple Villa and surrounding buildings. (Preservation category H4)

The four classic style buildings on Cattle Road were constructed between 1931 and 1932. As part of what was to become Cattle Road Residential Area. The so-called Purple Villa came to fame when president Jakub Piotrowski and his wife Angelique Piotrowski bought the entire apartment building in the late 1940’s and turned it into a private villa. Aurora Brissi, the daughter of Lorenzo Brissi and her lover Stefano Fiore were living at the first floor in the blue building in the 1950’s.

 

Ruben Ruiz Memorial. (Preservation category E2)

The centerpiece of what is today Ruben Ruiz Memorial was constructed in 1903, by the owners of the rum distillery. Mr. Ruiz, was buried under the ceramic flower pot.

Recently the park was further expanded east, between Bounty City Hospital and Visit Bounty Headquarters, making it the 2^nd largest park in the city. Only the Parliament Park is larger, but is only open to the public on a few special occasion.
