Oil rich nation with the total population of just over 3 million including the natives and the migrants together till date remains a natural and historic gateway of the Middle East.
This blessed piece of land as you may like to call or our recent modern times oil rich territory is taken birth into one of the finest spots on the earth which the explorers of the past took this location as their resting place, onward their visionary journey’s towards the east.
Considering the historic relevance of this location, this place has everlastingly given birth to one of the finest business minds in recent history.
Historically proven for its performance, this place had once become the quickest defense production ground for the rulers of the past living around this region, soon when it was required for the community living in this land to dawning a role of a extremely productive society in the ever changing world history of dominance and power, mapping the earth.
While the world economy is again in trans-formative times, this location has evidently proved itself to be contributing always to the growing needs of the changing world orders.
Collaboratively it is the responsibility of nation’s youth to craft the visions for the future of this country. As the new world order defines the power of business to be the supreme tool of dominance, Kuwait will always remain as the unique threshold of business ideas meeting between the east and the west.
Kuwaiti investments will always prove successful on both side of the county, be the investments made in China or India or made in the rest of Europe for various rationales if one may like to think.
The wealth generated out of these foreign investments outside the country will boost the well being of this nation to build and innovate themselves into great exclusive power on its own.
Long before the advent of oil, eastern business men always made the frequent visits to this place because of the wide access it gives to the other side of world for eastern goods.
Now with the times the suppressed age old consumerism that is yet to be kicked in from iraqi soil on the other hand, Kuwait necessarily becomes the important business location for the new business times that is waiting to flourish.
The golden future of kuwait can largely rest on promoting the tourism in the country. It should be preserved as natural desert gateway of the world because of its location.
Keeping in mind that it has always seated with harnessing power of offloading trillion tons of goods arriving from the east, the trading community in this country should constantly be focused on crafting long term business goals.
Kuwait also has the tremendous potential in becoming the gateway of aviation sector of the future. Large improvisation on the ground handling and providing immense value system for transit passengers will boost the country’s tourism industry naturally. The key to the beginning of investing in tourism should be prioritized by creating true customer value system for transit passengers by the country’s operational airlines and simultaneously the country should widen the aviation policies to accumulate better long term goals among the airline and hospitality operators.
The future could be in creating natural packages for transit passengers and allowing them to enter the country to experience the exclusivity of the country.
Since the worlds economical balance is moving into reclusiveness, the divide between the rich and poor is ever increasingly becoming wider. This is the time the visionary youth of this country should ponder over the moral comforts that have been laid by those who resided earlier in this land in a very recent decade and make use of all the resources available to smoothly swim into the next decade of changes that time will definitely bring.
Looking forward and estimating by the examples of the neigboring nations, kuwait has a chance to craft their developmental plans more systematically and organically, since the country is smaller in size and population.But the organization of systemic growth of nation's developmental needs, and to further strengthen the societal value into more sustainable nation of the future, the responsible few have to morally strengthen the younger generations ideologies and willfully explain, inspire and embed the eager need for sustainable new ideas to overall support the societal value.
But as i witness from my view, i see a very wide gap that still needs to be filled in making the youth of this society aware of the importance of the futuristic visions that help the society move towards climbing new peaks of development and keep in tune to the everchanging scenarios of the modern world era we are living in.
As a whole the society luckily has an immence fullfilment even at the basic level of requirements in provision to the basic standards of living, at the same time i clearly see there is numerous amount of resources being wasted ignorantly,i may quote as an example that a recent report by Al Watan Daily mentions about kuwait, that nearly 50000 employees both in governmental and public sector are receiving full salaries and bonuses despite not working. Surely lucky are those, i must add, but rationally it gives you the overall understanding of the mood of the society.
Since, time has witnessed that no community in the world has moved forward, except by thoroughly utilizing the times of their lives for themselves and by ambitiously thrusting the intellectual and personal energies into crafting plans for the future times.Ofcourse, there are numerous examples for those who did like to ponder in history.
