TROPICO 3 VS TROPICO 4 FREE

At the start I did build 1 dock (and did only keep 1 for quite some time), one hotel (for free because of the perk) and 5-10 bunks (the small huts for 1 family) and as attraction a scenic spot which is a great money maker for the early and low tourists. I did not start with the wealthy-stuff of course. I only got 1 cabaret and almost none of the attractions which are listed under attractions and I got everything set on the highest settings to let it fit for the wealthy-class.įor tourist arrival I did have 3 docks and 1 airport in the end. In entertainment / attractions I only use the luxury liner (which gives a lot of revenue, had something like slightly less then $400,000 total at the end), nightclubs, banks, modern art museum, gourmet restaurants, marina and spa, which I are the important ones. I didn't plan in exporting anything, I'm just exporting food because I usually build more ranches than I need as I often leave my people starving later in the game.Ĭoncerning tourists, I did focus on the 'Wealthy'-class only building luxury hotels, beach-things (not the bunks, but the bigger ones which offer room for 2 families) and having one skyscraper hotel. General Overhead $34,335 (with one arrow up).My income (at end of the scenario = getting 1,000,000 twits) is $205,055 in total which splits up to I'm pretty new to Tropico 4, playing the campaign for the first time (did play 1-3 though) and did just finish the third (I think) island where you are told to build tourism business.

The tourists will actually pay 3x more then the price it would cost your tropican's. Something to note you might not know about: the entertainment buildings that help both the tropico's and you have a rather strange system. In the end, it's still a bad idea to do tourism if you really want to earn a lot of money in the game.

Only build new hotels/attractions if those you have right now are pretty much filled up, you do not want to waste money on something that's not required! Make sure you have fully staffed buildings, no staff means that they tourists can't stay there! Are there no tourists there? Either they can't get there easy enough (garages, or lack of airport(s)/dock(s)), or it might simply be to expensive. Try to mess around with the costs of your hotels/entertainment structures. It helps to have your workers not to far off, or if they are a bit off always have garages so they can get to their work in the hotels fast. Make sure you place everything near each other, once you get an airport you do not want it to be on the other side of the island (I assume this would make sense?) Without happy citizens, they can't be happy while serving tourists.įocus on ONE or TWO types of tourists, do not try to please all of them, it will only ruin everything (from my own experience). IMPORTANT, before starting up any tourism, make sure you citizens are happy and you are earning a bit of money from industry or such. You are better of making industry, however if you really want to do it (for an achievement or the campaign or perhaps just a bit of fun?) there are a few tips I could give you. Tourists who like to visit a Cabaret show.Making money from tourism is a real pain in the game. These tourists will enjoy visiting restaurants.įinding a place to get alcohol is important to these tourists. Tourists who like spending money on souvenirs will enjoy buildings where they can shop.Įnjoying a swim in the pool or watching athletes perform is important for tourists who enjoy sports. They will love to take in the natural beauty of your island. Sightseeing tourists are the easiest to please due to the amount of attractions they'll visit. Below are the preferences and the buildings that will satisfy them.Īny tourist who enjoys relaxing instead of activity. If a building that meets the preference is not available the tourist may visit another one, but it will not satisfy them as well. This can can be found by clicking the tourist and viewing the Attractions tab. Each one has a weight which determines how much they would enjoy visiting a building that meets the preference.

Preferences Ī tourists' preferences are the attractions they would most prefer to visit.

See Tourism Ratings for more information. Tourists that visit the island will rate their trip, they provide feedback with 4 ratings (and an Overall):

Slob($15) - Highest Spending money very picky wanting high-class accommodations and venues Wealth Tagged as 'Rich'.

Note that Tourists can use Entertainment buildings as well but will use up services your citizens would otherwise enjoy. Tourism can be a large investment as it requires a lot of attractions to ensure Tourists are kept happy. Before they can be brought on the island you will need both a Tourist Dock and at least one accommodation. The Tourism industry is a major source of income if the island has enough natural beauty.
