If you're Brit, German, French, Italian and Spaniard....
This is what goes on in the heads of smart people: when money talks, and you're the leaders of a country, you make YOUR COUNTRY more attractive to attracting money.
Laos, as we know, doesn't really have the kind of brains necessary to institute such economic tactics and strategies.
Laos probably looks up to Vietnam and China, their "big brother" communist comrades, to see whether or not they'd give Laos the nod, before Laos timid leaders would undertake any action... so we won't hear these decisions.
The fact of the matter is, Laos being only 8M people, and a country still abound with natural beauty... it won't be too hard to make it into a destination for WESTERN and RICH tourists who want to see some of SE Asia's last rain forests...
But, again, such takes brains and an ability to think outside the box, something Laos "correct leadership" is not capable of... although we are sure they'd think they have already put Laos and her people in the best of positions compared to other countries from around the world...

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) -- Vietnam will drop its visa requirements for tourists from five more European countries in a bid to boost its slumping tourism industry.
Under a decision by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung that was posted on the government's website, visitors from Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain will no longer need a visa to visit Vietnam starting in July for stays up to 15 days.
The decision was welcomed by tour operators.
"This is very good news," Hoang Le Quyen of PeaceTours said by telephone from the southern commercial hub of Ho Chi Minh City. "It will definitely help bring foreign tourists to Vietnam."
