GLOBAL BUSINESS PLAN PAPER

IntroductionWe wish to investigate the viability of opening a new resort in Mexico. In order to do this it is important to first do a detail analysis of the country we wish to move in to, as well as acknowledge both the pros and cons in taking on such an endeavor. In this paper we will define what country we wish to expand a business in, as well as give a brief description of the organization.

We will then analyze regional and country information in the same areas.
